The Goodyear Police Department's year-long manhunt culminated with the capture of two suspects linked to an aggravated assault case from July 2023. N’Sayshable Thomas of Avondale and Ignacio Mambru of Chandler are now facing the consequences of their alleged criminal actions. The police responded to a shooting near W. Van Buren St and N. Estrella Pkwy where the duo, after the alleged incident brandished a firearm at another individual while making their escape.
Initial attempts to collar the suspects didn't pan out, despite law enforcement's best efforts. However, the investigative team's persistence paid off. Mambru was taken into custody in May 2024, his arrest acting as the linchpin to further developments in the case. On June 8, authorities arrested Thomas in Pinal County on the strength of multiple outstanding felony warrants, according to a Goodyearaz.gov release.
The arrests offer a sigh of relief for those involved, as the suspects now await their dates in court. It took almost a year for law enforcement to apprehend Thomas and Mambru, their efforts a testament to the Goodyear Police Department's dedication to justice and safety. The community, once rattled by the violence of that fateful July day, now looks to the legal system for closure and retribution.
Both suspects are currently being held accountable for the roles they played in the 2023 aggravated assault, each with their own list of charges that could lead to significant time behind bars. Details surrounding the case, including the specific charges and potential sentencing, continue to develop as the legal proceedings advance. As the judicial gears grind forward, the arrests punctuate a chapter in the community's quest for peace, and a reminder that the law may be slow at times but it is seldom forgetful.
