Shooting in Phoenix Complex Leaves Multiple People Injured

Shooting at Phoenix Apartment Complex Leaves Multiple Victims

 

On Monday morning things got pretty scary at an apartment complex in Phoenix. One person died and another person ended up being in the hospital. Another person is on the loose after the shooting. According to the Phoenix Police the complex shooting happened close to the 35th Avenue and Earll Drive right after midnight. Police say that they had found out about the shooting after one of the shooting victims had called 911, claimed he had just been in a gunfight.

 

When the authorities got to the scene, they found the person who called, lying in the street. The victim male was taken to the local hospital and was in critical condition. Not long after sending the male caller to the hospital, the police found another person who was injured by a gunshot wound. However, this man was already dead and found at a stairwell.

 

Missing Suspect in Shooting Investigation

 

During their investigation, the officers found a number of shell casing at the scene. According to the Phoenix Police Spokesperson, Trent Crump, the detectives think that there is probably a person missing from the investigation. They believe another person had to be involved in the gunfight.

 

Police have not found a motive for the random shooting at this time. However, police believe that the man who died at the scene and the unknown missing suspect had came to the apartment complex to find the injured victim for whatever reason.

 

So, if you’re living in apartments please be careful. You never know who else is living in the building and what kind of drama or target someone is. If you hear something suspicious call the local authorities, do no try to go investigate or anything like that.

Man Arrested for Molesting Girls in Phoenix Park

On Thursday, the quick thinking of the Phoenix police and some witnesses led to a quick arrest of man who was accused of molesting two young girls at the Phoenix Park.

The Phoenix Police said that the officers had to respond to a report of child molesting at four:twenty in the evening. The location of the call was at the Falcon Park.

The Phoenix Police Officers had learned  that a boy and two young girls had went into a ladies restroom in the park. While in the bathroom a man had touched both of the girl’s private parts.

The girls are only six and seven years old. Police stated that one of the girls had ran out and told a teen relative that then confronted the mean.

The man then got into his car and then left the park. Luckily one of the family members of the girls got a license plate number on the vehicle.

The investigators found out that the vehicle was registered to a home in the Gila River Indian Community and then the Gila River Police were notified.

The Phoenix Police Found the Molesting Suspect

The vehicle was found as well as the suspect, Charles Styles. Charles was then taken into custody.

Charles was turned over to the Phoenix Police as soon as it was determined that Mr. Styles wasn’t a member of the Gila River Community.

Forty-three year old, Charles was later identified by the victims as well as the witnesses.  The investigators say that Charles is a registered sex offender.

Charles Styles was booked and put into jail on four counts of Sexual Conduct with a Minor.

Teenagers Fight at Arizona State Fair

Teenagers Fight at Arizona State Fair

Group of Teenagers Fight at Phoenix Fair

 

The state fair is a very memorable time for a lot of children and teens. First kisses on the Ferris Wheel, winning a Gold fish, the great carnival food. The fair is also a place for robbery and mischief. According to the local authorities, dozens of teenagers had gotten into a huge fight on the opening night of the Arizona State Fair. The fair happens in Phoenix.

 

The Phoenix Police and the Arizona Department of Public Safety were at the scene at the fair. It was at 19th Avenue and McDowell. This huge fight happened last Friday night.

 

Police Arrest 30 Teenagers at State Fair

 

The police officers said that they had to detain at least thirty teenagers at the fairgrounds. They were all released into the care of their parents. Police say that there must have been as many as sixty teenagers involved, as well as some of them fighting with the police.

 

Teenagers weren’t the only ones in trouble for fighting at the fair. It’s sad to say that two adults were also arrested, one of which was a woman, for kicking and hitting a police officer. Police still aren’t real sure of what caused the fight. The fair will end on November second. Hopefully there isn’t anymore brawls at the fair. It’s sad that fairs are meant to be a fun and family friendly place that people ruin it.

 

Make sure to keep a good watch on your young children at these fairs. They could be the ones in the fights, abducted, raped, robbed. There’s a million wrong doing’s at these family events. Just because it’s a supposed safe place doesn’t mean there aren’t people trying to do bad things during the fair.
