On April 21, 2024, at 1:00am Mesa police officers responded to 4055 N
Recker Rd reference a shooting call in which 23-year-old Gavin Wadzinski was
found dead on a sidewalk. Officers worked tirelessly to find out what happened
but were unable to locate any witnesses to the shooting.
After serving several search warrants, investigators learned that
Gavin wanted to buy a gun and Marijuana from then 17-year-old Devin Moll. Both
men agreed to meet, and Moll described the vehicle he would be arriving in.
Investigators collected and watched traffic surveillance footage, looking for
the vehicle Moll described. They found one vehicle that displayed a unique
headlight pattern in the area of the murder at the time it occurred. With this
information, investigators gathered more videos throughout the city that showed
this same vehicle with unusual headlights and used the videos to create a path
that ultimately helped them locate Moll.
Moll was arrested on April 1, 2025, and booked into jail for one count
of Second-Degree Murder. He is being held on a $1,000,000 bond.
Multiple units within the Mesa Police Department worked diligently on
this case and spent many hours making sure all evidence was discovered and used
to efficiently affect Moll’s arrest. Moll’s arrest marks the 100 percent
homicide clearance rate for the year 2024 for the Mesa Police Department.
