$2,000 reward offered for info on intruder who murdered young woman in Gilbert

The 19-year-old woman called 911 and reported an intruder had entered her Gilbert apartment and shot her.

GILBERT, Ariz. — A $2,000 reward is available for new information that may help Gilbert police make an arrest in the murder of a young woman.

Rachel Hansen, 19, was shot to death by an intruder in the early morning hours of June 4, 2022. The victim had called 911 and reported that a stranger entered her apartment near San Tan Village Parkway and Ray Road.

Hansen was taken to the hospital and succumbed to her injuries.

"Just the way she died made no sense to anybody, and we just can't understand it because she was so young and full of life and had so much life ahead of her," the victim's mother told 12News in a previous interview.

Gilbert police said investigators are continuing to pursue all leads related to the case.

Silent Witness recently announced it was offering a reward to try and obtain new information in the investigation. Anyone can contact Silent Witness by calling 480-WITNESS.
