In a separate but seemingly related incident, authorities in central Phoenix were called to a shooting at approximately 11:30 a.m. that same day. A man was found dead from gunshot injuries inside a vehicle in the same area of 5th Avenue and Pima Street, as per information obtained by AZFamily.

Investigators are looking into both shootings and have spoken to a woman who provided them with information about the events. A man, believed to be connected to the shooting in South Phoenix, was taken into custody soon after. The central Phoenix shooting remains under investigation, with detectives scouring the scene for evidence and leads.
