A year after a 2025 road rage incident in Yuma left one brother dead and another charged with first-degree murder, their father is calling for a case review.

One year after a road rage incident on 13 September 2025 in Yuma, Arizona, the father of two brothers involved is seeking a review of the case. Police say 19-year-old Juan Figueroa ran over and killed his younger brother Milo, 17, during a confrontation with a 36-year-old man in another vehicle. Juan is charged with first-degree murder and currently awaits trial on bond. According to Arizona state data, deadly road rage incidents are rare, causing roughly six deaths annually across the state.

Their father, Joseph Figueroa, says he is convinced there is more to the story and that police did not conduct a complete investigation. He has appealed to the city council, the attorney general and others to re-evaluate the case, describing Milo's death as an accident. Joseph said Juan was supposed to protect his younger brother 'at all costs' and should never have let him out of the car during the confrontation. A memorial for Milo remains at the incident site.
