Overview
- Nick Cordova was shot and killed at his Gilbert Air business on May 27, 2020 while he was on a FaceTime call with his children.
- Six years after the slaying there have been no arrests and Gilbert police say detectives continue to follow leads while stressing any charges must rest on sufficient evidence.
- Civil court filings have named business partner David Sweetman as a person of interest accused of arranging the killing for money, an allegation Sweetman denies.
- Cordova’s widow, Alysha, has hired an attorney and private investigators, increased public posting about the case, and says renewed social media attention and the family’s advocacy are bringing fresh scrutiny.
- Public pressure and a $20,000 Silent Witness reward could generate new tips but prosecutors will require corroborating evidence from police work before filing charges.
