PHOENIX — Police are asking for witnesses to come forward after a man was shot and killed at a large party overnight in west Phoenix.

Phoenix police were called to the area of 51st Avenue and Camelback Road just after 2:30 a.m. for the report of a shooting.

When officers arrived, they say they found a chaotic scene with hundreds of people running away from the home.

They found one man, identified as 23-year-old Carlos Vences, with gunshot wounds.
