GUADALUPE, AZ — Maricopa County Sheriff's officials say a teenage girl is dead after a shooting Monday evening in Guadalupe.
The shooting happened near Guadalupe Road and Avenida del Yaqui.
Officials say two people were involved in an argument when the victim, identified as a 16-year-old girl, was shot and killed.
The alleged suspects fled the area, according to MCSO officials.
On Tuesday morning, MCSO said a 17-year-old had been taken into custody, with one other suspect still on the loose.
It is unknown if there are any other injuries or what led to the argument.
ABC15 spoke with the 16-year-old's former mentor who also lives in the area saying "It's going to be difficult not seeing her anymore."
“I was just watching a movie when I heard these three loud bangs,” said another neighbor.
Neighbors ABC15 spoke with wanted to remain anonymous but said "The family seemed pretty distraught, and there was police everywhere."
ABC15 reached out to MCSO to ask if the girl knew the pair who was involved in an argument, they said "It is unknown."
Neighbors were left sad and worried, but hopeful the second person will soon be caught.
“Knowing that there’s still somebody out there that's capable of doing these things, that's a little uneasy but hopefully they catch him and justice is served and the family gets to be at peace,” said the former mentor.
The investigation remains ongoing.
