Suspect sought in deadly Glendale shooting
GLENDALE, Ariz. - An investigation is underway after a man died following a shooting in Glendale.
The shooting happened just before 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 14 near 59th Avenue and Bethany Home Road. Glendale Police say they received multiple ShotSpotter activations in the area and residents called 911 to report multiple gunshots and people running.
When officers got to the scene, they found 49-year-old Dwight Steele with a gunshot wound. Steele later died from his injuries.
Officers are still trying to determine what led up to the gunfire.
"It’s really important for people to come forward," said Jose Santiago with Glendale Police. "This one is difficult because we don’t have a lot of information about the suspect. We don’t know how many people we are dealing with, but we think there’s at least more than one suspect."
Evidence points to a violent encounter.
"We can tell you there were multiple rounds fired in this area," said Santiago. "We are talking about 30+ rounds."
A woman who lives in the area, identified only as ‘Kathy,’ says crime is a constant. She is sad to hear what happened, but not surprised.
"My mom is really elderly, and I have a 14-year-old daughter, and it’s bad for them," said Kathy. "We want to move, but it’s just hard."
