PHOENIX — Phoenix police are investigating a deadly shooting at an apartment late Tuesday night.
Officers were first called to the Tuscany Pointe Apartments near Interstate 17 and Greenway Road just after 11:15 p.m.
At the scene, they found a man with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
That man has since been identified as 23-year-old Treyvon Simons.
Police also detained a man they say was involved in the shooting.
Preliminary information indicates Simons and the man were in a fight, and the man told police he shot Simons in self-defense. He was later released from custody.
Officials say the investigation is being submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for possible charges.
