Tragedy struck on a Phoenix roadside this past Monday, as police responded to a distressing call around 1:30 p.m. near 51st Avenue and McDowell Road, as reported by ABC15. A teenage boy, later identified as 17-year-old Anthony Rabadan, was discovered with a life-threatening gunshot wound and despite swift transportation to the hospital, succumbed to his injuries.
Homicide detectives are canvassing the neighborhood, seeking answers and a suspect but the motivation behind this violent act remains obscured by an absence of transparent context, no suspect information has yet been released by authorities, according to Fox10 Phoenix.
"Homicide detectives responded to assume the investigation. Additional details related to this incident remain part of the ongoing investigation," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Rob Scherer, encouraging anyone with information to contact Silent Witness at 480 (WITNESS) or 480 (TESTIGO), promising rewards for information leading to an arrest in the case, in a statement obtained by Fox10 Phoenix.
