His first victim, a 16-year-old boy, survived. Nine people have been shot, seven of them have died.
WHO IS THE SUSPECT?
A solid description of the suspect is not known at this time. However, two separate witnesses in the case were able to provide police with an idea of his appearance.
Differing descriptions of the suspect’s vehicle have been provided by witnesses, with some reporting a light-colored sedan and others describing a dark-colored sedan.
“Someone out there knows who did this. We need our community to call us or Silent Witness and help us solve these cases, bring justice to these families and victims, and prevent more violence from occurring,” said Phoenix Police Chief Joseph Yahner.
