A Troubled Corner In North Phoenix
The intersection of 35th Avenue and Dunlap has been the backdrop for multiple major investigations in recent years, including homicide and fatal-collision cases, according to the City of Phoenix police media advisories.
Earlier coverage of the area includes a 2023 shooting at the Phoenician Palms apartments near 35th and Dunlap that left a man dead and led to an arrest, as reported by FOX10 Phoenix. Those incidents have fueled ongoing concern among some nearby residents and property managers, who have been pushing for more focus on safety in parts of north Phoenix.
In this latest case, Phoenix police have not released any suspect information and have not said what may have triggered the shooting. Anyone with details is urged to contact investigators or share information anonymously through Silent Witness, with official tip and contact resources publicly listed by the Phoenix Police Department.
