Man dies after being shot during a fight at south Phoenix business
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — A man is dead after police say he was shot by an acquaintance at a business in south Phoenix Wednesday night.
The shooting happened just after 7 p.m. at a business near 14th Street and Broadway Road. When officers arrived, they found a man on the ground with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene and was later identified as Jesus Hinojosa-Chavez, 52.
The man who called 911 to report the shooting stayed at the scene and told officers he was the person who shot Hinojosa-Chavez. He explained that he knew the other man, and that they had been fighting. He told investigators he saw Hinojosa-Chavez reach for what he thought was a gun, so he shot him. Other witnesses told police the same story.
The man has been released, pending review by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. Detectives are still investigating.
