PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Police are looking for the person involved in a shooting that left one man dead and another hurt in south Phoenix early Sunday morning. The shooter fired multiple rounds around 2 a.m. near 26th Street and South Mountain View Avenue, which is south of Baseline Road. When police showed up, found 23-year-old Steven Magana shot multiple times in a nearby alley. He was taken to the hospital where he later died. Another man was found shot and he was taken to the hospital but should survive, police said.

Officers found a car speeding off and they thought it was involved in the shooting. They started a short chase, and the driver crashed near Seventh Avenue and Broadway, about six miles northwest of the original scene. That’s where all four people inside the car were detained. Investigators later determined none of them were involved in the shooting. Detectives are still trying to figure out what led up to the gun shots. No suspect information was released.
