MCSO investigates fatal shooting in Youngtown

YOUNGTOWN, Ariz. - Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies were called to the area of 111th and Missouri avenues about a shooting during the early morning hours of July 25.

"Initial information is that there was an argument between two subjects resulting in one of them being shot. He was transported to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The other individual fled the scene and is still outstanding," said Sgt. Calbert Gillett.

MCSO says it's unknown at this time how the two individuals knew each other.

A woman who lives near the scene said she heard the argument before the shooting.

"There's two men, two women, and I think three little kids from like, 5 to maybe about 8 or 9. I can hear them word for word, every cuss word. He has a volatile temper. I just said a couple of weeks ago, I was sitting out here having coffee and I go, well, I'm waiting for the crime scene tape, and here it is."

No names, or a suspect description, have been released in this case.
