Fight between customers leads to deadly shooting at drive-thru in north Phoenix

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — Homicide detectives are investigating a shooting that left a man dead outside a north Phoenix fast food restaurant early Sunday morning.

Officers responded to the area of 3rd Street and Dunlap Avenue around 4 a.m. and arrived to find a man who had been shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators learned that it started as a fight between two customers in the drive-thru lane of a 24-hour restaurant, and escalated when one of the men pulled out a gun and shot the other. The suspect drove away before officers arrived. Video from the scene showed a heavy police presence in the parking lot of Julioberto’s Fresh Mexican Food.
