PHOENIX - One man was shot and killed at a house party in west Phoenix near the intersection of 48th and Windsor avenues around 4:30 a.m. on Sept. 7.

He was later identified as 33-year-old Humberto Ortiz.

According to a police report, the man was found in front of a house with a gunshot wound and was carried away from the house so firefighters could safely perform lifesaving measures.

"Every day the area worries me. I've lived here for two years and I have small kids. It happens two or three times a week, the shootings. I can defend myself, but a kid who goes to school, a woman or older person aren't protected," said Juan, a neighbor.

He added that as a father of two, he purchased firearms to protect himself, his family and his home.

Police officers closed the area to continue their investigation.
