Driver Found Dead of Gunshot Wounds After Crashing into Home

 

The Phoenix police have found the driver of a vehicle. The driver was found dead and the cause was gunshot wounds. He was found after the car crashed into a Phoenix home on Tuesday night.

According to a Phoenix Police spokesman, Officer James Holmes, the Phoenix police were called to the home near 20th Street and South Mountain Avenue around ten,thirty in the evening on Tuesday. This was after a resident had called and said a car had driven into a home.

Gunshot Victim Found Dead

The investigators found the thirty-six year old man inside of the car. The man was dead. Officer Holmes said that they realized after examining the man that he had a gunshot wound. Police have not identified the victim at this time.

According to Officer Holmes, no one else was in the vehicle when it had went through the home’s garage and then into the bedroom of the home. A woman and her boyfriend were however, inside of the home at the time of the crash. They luckily did not suffer from any injuries.

Blanca Fernandez was in her bedroom when she hear a large crash. She though someone had broken into their home so she immediately ran into her daughter’s bedroom, however she could barely see anything because the furniture had been pushed so far back into the room.

Blanca Fernandez Statement:

We went outside, and that’s when we saw the vehicle completely through the garage in her bedroom.

 

Blanca lives in the house with two daughters. The girls are four years old and an eighteen year old. Luckily both girls weren’t home at the time of the crash. The car had hit an armoire in the four year old’s bedroom. The impact moved it into the bed then that pushed the rest of the furniture into the doorway.

 

 Fernandez Statement:

Had she been home, she would have been sitting there when it happened.

 

The investigation happened after the crash and lasted until around four o’clock that next morning. Fernandez was not allowed in her house while the investigation was going on since it was now a crime scene. The authorities finally removed the body and the vehicle then called in a clean up crew to clean the garage.

The police say that no one had witnessed the shooting and there was no motive or a suspect at this time. However there was one resident who reported that they had heard shots fired in the area.

Police are asking anyone with any information about this case to call Silent Witness at (480) WITNESS.

Criminal Defense Cases

The highly skilled Attorneys at Criminal Defense Lawyers PLLC advise and represent people facing criminal charges for domestic violence often described as Spousal Abuse, Spousal Battery or Domestic Dispute, such charges do not always reflect a case between married people, but include those living in the same location (cohabitation), or sometimes just engaged in a domestic (dating) relationship.  Such cases can also lead to violation of a restraining order or protective orders.  They are NOT the same as a Domestic Violence Restraining Order however.

 

With a team of former prosecutors, Phoenix based Criminal Defense Attorneys at Criminal Defense Lawyers PLLC offer a comprehensive understanding of the criminal justice system. They understand the necessary steps to take in developing an aggressive defense strategy focused on securing a dismissal or minimizing any potential penalties associated with a conviction.

 

Domestic Violence cases have become extremely political and are regularly treated as “guilty until proven innocent.”   Even with minor cases, that do not involve a documented injury, proactive and rapid action by a caring defense attorney may be they key to not only avoiding a damaging no contact order, but may play a significant role in custody issues and an eventual resolution in the case that does not result in a life-time ban on the possession of firearms, tragic orders separating you from your family and other consequences that can interfere with work, school and life.

 

At the Law Offices of Criminal Defense Lawyers PLLC, we are committed to helping you achieve a resolution to your immediate problems, while seeking opportunities to improve the troubled family dynamics that might be underlying factors.

 

In domestic violence cases, the district attorney and the judge will be especially interested in what you’re willing to do to improve relationships, conflict resolution skills, and anger management. Your demonstration toward positive change will often make the difference in the outcome of your case. We work closely with people charged with domestic assault or battery to obtain a dismissal, diversion to community treatment or deferred entry of judgment prior to eventually achieving a dismissal.

Stabbings Near Phoenix

Stabbings Near Phoenix

Stabbings In Jail

Stabbings in jail probably happen quite often, However the county jails are usually pretty harmless. It’s a holding place for drunken people or minor things. Maybe even an inmate waiting trial. A fight between inmates broke out in a Maricopa County jail recently. The inmate was critically injured, however they say he is expected to survive his injuries.

According to Maricopa County Sheriff, Joe Arpaio’s office, the fifty-two year old inmate had fallen to the ground and even lost consciousness after he was hit in the face on Sunday night in a brawl at the Towers Jail which is located in West Phoenix.

Inmate Badly Injured in Jail Fight

The middle aged male inmate had to be put on a ventilator.  His identity has not been released at this time. The police officials have stated that he had been in jail for felony probation violation.

The fight was due to an argument over a “commissary issue”. However the Sheriff’s Office is staying pretty mum on the situation. They have declined to explain the fight any further. Inmates are allowed to buy items such as: snacks, toiletries, and other items from the jail commissaries.

Sheriff Arpaio’s office would not say how many of the inmates took part in the fight. They also would not give any additional information about the inmate who had been severely injured.

It’s really hard to tell why the police authorities are keeping so quiet about the situation. Could be a gang related incident, maybe their family doesn’t know they’re there or whatever reason.

Teens Stabbed Due to Racially Related Attack

A mother claims that her son and two of his friends had been stabbed while they were skateboarding on a Saturday night. She calls it a “racially motivated attack”. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is now investigating the incident. The stabbing happened around eleven o’clock at night in the Anthem area.

Two of the teens have suffered from several stab wound in various areas of their body including their: legs and arms. Luckily both teens are expected to make a full recovery.

Sunny Bowen, the mother of one of the teens, was out with some friends when she got a very scary phone call from the local hospital.

 

Mother’s Statement About The Teens Being Stabbed

It was quite possibly the worst night of my life the worst feeling ever, because they didn’t elaborate. I didn’t know if he was stabbed bad enough he was going to die.

 

Sunny stated that her young son, who is only fifteen years old and his two friends had been skateboarding around their neighborhood. That is when they claim that a group of adult men pulled up to them and the men were in a white pickup truck.

 

Sunny’s Statement:

He said they had masks over their face, and I said ‘masks like a Halloween masks’ and he said ‘no, more like what a KKK mask looks like, They were screaming the ‘N’ word at the children, and I mean these were adult men.

 

According to the statement, all three of the teen males are bi-racial.

 

Sunny’s Statement:

It’s horrible to even think that in this day and age that that is an issue.Whoever this was, I mean they were adult men, attacking

children obviously in a racially motivated hate crime of some sort and they need to be brought to justice.

 

The boys did the right thing by running to a nearby home and calling 911. The teens said that the pickup truck had a large white cross on the back of it. Hopefully police can find their attackers.

Extreme Spouse Abuse

Abuse Happening at Home

Man Facing Assault Charges for Choking His Girlfriend

On Saturday evening a woman got choked by her boyfriend because she wasn’t cooking his dinner fast enough. The twenty-seven year old man is now facing aggravated assault charges after choking his girlfriend.

The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office says that a physical altercation had taken place between the couple because of the girlfriend’s slow cooking.

The twenty-two year old female victim told the authorities that the twenty-seven year old, Dustin Eric Green had threatened to beat her with a rubber mallet. However he then started to choke her.

The Choking Girlfriend Fights Back

According to the police officials, the woman grabbed a knife and stabbed the man in the leg as a defense. However, the male then started to beat the young woman in the back of her head.

According to the Mohave police, they were called to respond to a home near the Thompson and Northern Avenues. This was around six o’clock in the evening. They found out that Dustin had two warrants for his violation of probation as well as failure to pay fines.

Dustin told the police officials that he was stabbed and then he was taken to a local hospital so that he could be treated. He was later released from the hospital and booked into the Mohave County Jail.

 

Man Gets Shot in Back for Talking to Another Man’s Ex-Girlfriend

Police have now found a thirty-five year old man that is suspected of shooting someone in the back on early Tuesday morning. Apparently the two gentleman had gotten into an argument over the suspect’s ex-girlfriend in West Phoenix.

According to the Phoenix Police Department, the suspect and a thirty-one year old man got into an argument near the 51st Avenue and McDowell Road around three o’clock in the morning. The argument started when the victim talked to the suspect’s ex-girlfriend. How crazy is that? People are getting absolutely crazy these days!

The police said that the suspect took out a gun and then the two gentlemen struggled. The gun then went off and hit the suspect on his backside. The suspect then shot the other gentleman in the back and fled the incident scene.

Victim Taken to Hospital for Wound from Suspect Shooting

The gunshot victim was taken to the local hospital for surgery and luckily he is expected to survive according to the Phoenix Police. The Officers came to the scene when they responded to reports of a shooting in the area and was able to track down the suspect to the area around Buckeye Road and the 17th Avenue, according to the police. He was then taken to the hospital for treatment of his gunshot wound as well. The suspect is expected to be booked into jail as soon as he is discharged.

So people should apparently be careful who you talk to these days. You never know who might have a crazy ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend. Seriously though, people, try to stay calm. If you’re jealous don’t shoot someone. Then you’ll end up being a suspect.

Hiring the Right Homicide Lawyer in Phoenix

Having a skilled homicide defense attorney is important in any criminal case, but it is even more critical in a murder case. To properly defend a client against a murder charge, a defense lawyer must be prepared to effectively challenge the prosecution’s evidence. To do so, a Phoenix Murder Defense Attorney must be prepared to effectively cross-examine the prosecution’s witnesses, including any expert witnesses.

 

Expert Witnesses

In some cases, a Phoenix Homicide Defense Attorney may need to use expert witnesses on behalf of the defendant to challenge forensic evidence, ballistics evidence and other scientific evidence presented by the prosecution. We are prepared to do so and have worked with expert witnesses in the past to provide a vigorous defense on our clients’ behalf.

 

In addition to fighting your charges at trial (or seeking a case dismissal for lack of probable cause), we can also negotiate with the prosecution to seek a favorable plea agreement. A plea agreement might involve a plea to a lesser offense or an agreement on sentencing that will significantly reduce the penalties you face.

 

Homicide Defense Strategy

We will take the time to talk to witnesses, investigate what really happened in your case, understand what evidence is in the prosecution’s possession, look for holes in the prosecution’s case, and determine if the police violated your constitutional rights or made other critical errors that can be used to your advantage.

We are committed to raising a strong and comprehensive defense on your behalf. Depending on the facts of your case, the following defenses and strategies may be helpful:

 

  • Self-Defense
  • Insanity
  • Mistaken Identity
  • Suppression of Evidence
  • Challenging DNA, Fingerprint Evidence and other Forensic Evidence

  • Challenging the Reliability of an Eyewitness
  • Challenging Whether the Evidence Sustains a Murder Conviction
  • Negotiation with the Prosecution to Determine if a Plea Agreement Could

Significantly Minimize the Charges or Penalties you Face

Police Investigate Phoenix Homicide Shooting

Phoenix police stay pretty busy in the Phoenix area. Now they have to investigate a Phoenix shooting that happened on a Saturday morning.

According to the Phoenix Police Depart, the officers went to investigate the call around 3:30 in the morning. The call took them to 15th Avenue and Osborn Road.

The police arrived and found a man who was injured from a gunshot. The wounded man had to be taken to the local hospital for his wound, where he sadly passed away due to his injuries.

According to the reports, the police say that they had followed “evidence” of an injured person away from the scene. However, they weren’t able to locate a second victim.

Later that night the police got another call about a second shooting victim was found near 27th and Southern Avenues.

The reports say that the second victim was an adult male. He also had to be transported to the local hospital, but he didn’t not have life threatening injuries. The police think that the two shooting scenes are connect.

Phoenix Police Responded to Homicide Call

Another day, another homicide in Phoenix. This time the shooting happened to a man, who ended up dying to his wounds. According to the Phoenix Police, the shooting happened on Saturday morning.

Phoenix police got to the scene around 5 o’clock in the morning. The reports say that they went to the 10100 block of  West Cordes Road. After arriving they found a man who was shot inside of the home and was fatally shot. After the investigation, police are calling this a homicide.

The police of course questioned to neighbors to hopefully find something out. If the police did find something they’re not releasing the information at this time.

Phoenix Police Investigate Found Body

It’s a sad day when someone is minding their own business and randomly finds a dead body in a public alley. Talk about no remorse from the person who killed the victim.

The Phoenix police now have to investigate the homicide. The witness found the body in the alley.  According to reports, the witness found the body near 2200 N. Dayton Street in an alley. The victim was a twenty-seven year old man. The witness made the call to the police around 7:30 in the morning.

After the police got to the scene they figured out that the cause of the victims death was pretty suspicious. That’s when this incident turned into a homicide case.

Phoenix Police are asking that if anyone has information on this murder then please call Silent Witness. Callers can always remain anonymous. They’re even offering a $1000 reward

Police Investigate Phoenix Complex Homicide

Apartment shootings in Phoenix are almost a daily occurrence it seems like. Now Phoenix police have arrested a man who was involved in a shooting on Sunday. The shooting involved another man who got shot and it happened in an apartment complex in Phoenix.

When the officers got to the scene, they found a man who was already dead from a gunshot wound. They found out he was forty-nine years old.

The police worked fast and made an arrest against thirty-four year old Markus Miller.

Later, the police identified the shooting victim as Terrance Hodge.

Multiple Suspects in Phoenix Homicide Case

Multiple Suspects in Phoenix Homicide Case

Phoenix Liquor Store Shooting

Good ol Phoenix. Never boring that’s for sure. With Phoenix being so close to the border it’s a hot spot for growth but also criminal activity. Families want to move there to be closer to those who are waiting to be deported or have been newly deported and are working on becoming United States citizens.

Now two men will face charges for their connection for a shooting and the death of two men outside of a Phoenix liquor store back in April.

Both are relatively young suspects, twenty-four year old Kevin Dara Chheng and twenty-six year old Solomon Isaiah Banks were both arrested on suspicion of first degree murder charges.

According to the reports, the liquor store was located at 3502 W. Greenway Road.  The reports also said that both of the men had participated in the shootings that ended two men’s lives. However, there were other men with the two suspects.

It’s unclear what actually caused the shootings, however witness statements and video surveillance led the police to the two suspects.

Now the two men are going to face two counts of first degree murder. Banks will also face an additional charge of “hindering an investigation”. Chheng is going to face an aggravated assault charge. Things must have gotten pretty heated during the arrest.

Three People Arrested for Phoenix Murder

It’s kind of scary what this world is coming to. Another day, another robbery. Another day, another shooting. There’s always more and more crime and people dying.

Sadly a thirty-eight year old man has lost his life due to a shooting.

Three people have been arrested in connection for the killing of the thirty-eight year old man.

The suspects are: thirty-three year old- Crystal Amy Allison, twenty-six year old- Anthony Elias Thomas, and thirty-five year old- Luis Carlos Urias. They are being investigated for first degree murder, armed robbery with a deadly weapon, and possession of a dangerous drug for sale.  Quite a little list they have for themselves.

Suspects Arrested for Shooting

The three of them were arrested for the killing of thirty-eight year old, Roberto Silva-Perez aka Victor Cuadral and Jose Ramirez-Adriano.

The three suspects were arrested after the police found the man who they later identified as Silva-Perez. He had gunshot wounds and was found inside of a vehicle that was near 59th Avenue and McDowell Road. This happened just before midnight on Friday.

Sadly, he was pronounced dead at the scene of the crime.

The police of course obtained the suspect vehicle description from local witnesses from there they followed it southbound where they suspects tried to flee on foot.

The three suspects tried to get rid of a gun as well as drugs as they ran on foot but the police were able to capture them not long after the chase began.

According to the police, the shooting might have happened due to a drug deal.

Double Shooting in Phoenix

North Phoenix is a happening place. Sadly two men have lost their life due to a double shooting in North Phoenix.  Now the two men that was involved in the April shooting have finally been arrested.

The Phoenix police said that on April 26th two men were shot and killed outside of a liquor store. This happened near Greenway Road.

The police say that twenty-four year old and Twenty-five year old had “sought” out the two victims to assault or to kill them. Both of the shooting victims were thirty-two year old men.

Homicide in Phoenix Area

Homicides in Phoenix Area

Phoenix Shooting Involving an Officer

Being an officer in the Phoenix area isn’t an easy task, especially when it comes to shootings and homicide cases. No way would I want that job. I definitley admire them for their hard work, at least the ones who truly do things the right way.

According to reports, on Monday a woman in Phoenix was armed and ready for battle. She was loaded with a gun and suspected of fatally shooting a man in central Phoenix. She was later shot and killed by an officer.

The reports show that the woman was only in her twenties, and was shot at the Japanese Friendship Garden in downtown Phoenix.

According to Phoenix Police Sgt. Vince Lewis, the responding officers were responding to a homicide scene in an apartment near Central and Minnezona avenues.  That happened around 12:15 p.m. which is a rather odd time for a homicide. When they got to the scene they saw a middle age man with several gunshot wounds. The man was transported to the local hospital, however he was later reported dead.

Sgt. Lewis said that the Officers were able to identify the suspect as a female who was recently seen leaving the scene in a dark blue Jaguar. The vehicle had an Arkansas license plate.

Not long after the shooting happened the woman had visited a restaurant near Central Avenue and Portland Street for several hours. She then left the restaurant and the police got a tip about an armed woman that had matched the suspects description.

Homicide Suspect

An officer then found the woman at the local Japanese Friendship Garden and proceeded to request backup.  They tried to “communicate and begin negotiations” with her but that doesn’t always work.

Lewis’ Statement:

Several non-lethal, less-lethal tools and tactics were brought to the scene with the goal of continuing that contact with her.

The woman then went a little crazy and started to say she was going to shoot her self with a handgun. An experienced Officer on the scene then had no other choice than to take the lead and to fire his weapon at the woman. Others then began life saving efforts. She was quickly transported to the hospital but despite everyone’s best efforts she succumbed to her injures.

Sometimes, officers have to make that impossible choice and then they have to live with that decision the rest of their lives. Hopefully, this officer can live with his.

Criminal Defense Cases

If you have been charged with murder, the attorney you choose to defend you will likely be one of the most important decisions you ever make. Obtaining a strong defense could be the difference between freedom and a life behind bars.

 

At the Phoenix based Offices of Criminal Defense Lawyers PLLC, you will find the experienced, dedicated and highly skilled trial attorneys you need to protect your rights. Each of our attorneys made a conscious decision to become a criminal defense lawyer. We could have chosen any other field of law, but defending the freedom and liberty of people who are facing the possibility of incarceration was our first choice. We believe strongly that skilled and passionate defense attorneys can make a difference in the lives of their clients. We go into every case feeling that we can make that difference.

 

Hiring the Right Homicide Lawyer in Phoenix

Having a skilled homicide defense attorney is important in any criminal case, but it is even more critical in a murder case. To properly defend a client against a murder charge, a defense lawyer must be prepared to effectively challenge the prosecution’s evidence. To do so, a Phoenix Murder Defense Attorney must be prepared to effectively cross-examine the prosecution’s witnesses, including any expert witnesses.

 

Expert Witnesses

In some cases, a Phoenix Homicide Defense Attorney may need to use expert witnesses on behalf of the defendant to challenge forensic evidence, ballistics evidence and other scientific evidence presented by the prosecution. We are prepared to do so and have worked with expert witnesses in the past to provide a vigorous defense on our clients’ behalf.

 

In addition to fighting your charges at trial (or seeking a case dismissal for lack of probable cause), we can also negotiate with the prosecution to seek a favorable plea agreement. A plea agreement might involve a plea to a lesser offense or an agreement on sentencing that will significantly reduce the penalties you face.

 

Homicide Defense Strategy

We will take the time to talk to witnesses, investigate what really happened in your case, understand what evidence is in the prosecution’s possession, look for holes in the prosecution’s case, and determine if the police violated your constitutional rights or made other critical errors that can be used to your advantage.

We are committed to raising a strong and comprehensive defense on your behalf. Depending on the facts of your case, the following defenses and strategies may be helpful:

 

  • Self-Defense
  • Insanity
  • Mistaken Identity
  • Suppression of Evidence
  • Challenging DNA, Fingerprint Evidence and other Forensic Evidence
  • Challenging Ballistics Evidence (Relating to Firearms and Bullets)
  • Challenging the Reliability of an Eyewitness
  • Challenging Whether the Evidence Sustains a Murder Conviction
  • Negotiation with the Prosecution to Determine if a Plea Agreement Could

Significantly Minimize the Charges or Penalties you Face

 

We have defended clients against murder charges and other felony violent crimes. You can be confident that you will have a highly skilled and dedicated defense lawyer who will advise you of your rights, help explain the process and work diligently to seek the best possible outcome on your behalf.
