PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — The man who was shot and killed in a west Phoenix shooting Saturday night was allegedly trying to break into a residence, Phoenix police say.
Police say as the suspect, later identified as 37-year-old Jessie McHaney, Jr., allegedly tried to break into the home near 44th and Whitton avenues, a woman inside called for help from a male family member. A man soon came to the front of the house to help and started arguing with McHaney. That’s when McHaney reportedly made threats and raised up a black object.
That’s when the other man shot him. He later told investigators he believed McHaney was going to shoot him, so he shot in self-defense. No arrests have been made, and the investigation is still underway.
