A juvenile victim was located in the roadway, later identified as Preston Lord; he was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. On Monday, Oct. 30, he passed away in the hospital.

“This is a culmination of an extensive investigation and a critical step in getting justice for Preston,” stated Queen Creek Chief of Police Randy Brice. “To Preston’s family, we thank you for your patience and faith in our efforts. We cannot imagine what you have endured. To the public, thank you for continuing to send tips and the outpouring of support for the family. We will be vigilant in finishing up this case - this is all about ensuring we get justice for Preston. And, ensuring that we continue to focus on teen safety.”

While the manner of death can only be determined by the Maricopa County Medical Examiner, QCPD began investigating the incident as a homicide from the beginning. The investigation included processing hundreds of tips, extensive interviews, warrants, court orders, and other investigative processes.

In late December, QCPD submitted charges to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. On Feb. 14, the Maricopa County Medical Examiner completed their report and specified the manner of death as homicide. The findings were consistent with QCPD’s investigation and supported the charges submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney. 

Queen Creek Mayor Julia Wheatley shared, “While there is still work to be done - and nothing will bring Preston back - the arrests in the Preston Lord homicide investigation are an essential step in the process. The Lord family is in my thoughts and prayers daily – and I am so thankful that we can continue to move forward in our pursuit of justice for Preston. We extend our thanks to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office – they have been committed to a thorough review to ensure they can prosecute to the fullest extent of the law as this senseless act of violence took the life of a young man. And to our officers – I know this has been the police department’s top priority. The dedication to bringing justice for Preston has truly been at the forefront. Thank you to our officers, detectives, and the entire department. As the investigation continues, we will continue to stand up and say violence will not be tolerated – there will be justice for Preston.”

During the Dec. 6 Town Council meeting, Queen Creek Mayor Julia Wheatley and the Town Council recognized Preston and his family during the moment of silence. “We have and we will continue to have moments of silence in Preston’s honor. I absolutely condemn this senseless act. Those that are responsible must be held accountable” stated Queen Creek Mayor, Julia Wheatley. “Seeking justice for Preston is the Queen Creek Police Department’s top priority.”

QCPD Chief Brice stated, “I understand that everybody wants an arrest, and I assure you that our top priority is that arrest. We continue the investigation so that when we make the actual arrest, the County Attorney can work towards that conviction. We would like to provide a definitive timeline - but what I can say is there are many factors that have to be addressed and investigated. We are waiting for the Medical Examiner’s report, which has not been provided yet and may still be months out. Providing a tip, a name, or other information is just the beginning of the investigative process; we have to gather evidence, corroborate testimony and make the proper connections. In this sort of case, we actually have to demonstrate the causality with evidence. In other words, we have to have evidence to show how an action by a person or persons results in the outcome that we saw in this case. What I can share with you is this is a complex investigation and will be a complex prosecution."

More than 50 search warrants have been served resulting in an extensive amount of information that must be analyzed and reviewed. QCPD is focused on bringing justice for Preston and will release more information on the investigative process once it is appropriate to do so and without compromising the outcome of the investigation. Additional updates will be provided once an arrest has been made.
