PHOENIX — An 18-year-old man is dead after an incident at a teenage group home near 19th Avenue and Hatcher Road.
On Thursday, September 1, police were called to the group home for reports of a shooting. One person was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound.
He was later identified as 18-year-old T’revonsay Sales and on September 5 Phoenix police announced he died from his injuries.
A 17-year-old was arrested on the day of the incident and was facing charges of aggravated assault and related weapons charges. Upgraded charges have not yet been announced.
The incident occurred just before 2 a.m. Thursday morning at what police say is a group home for teenagers ages 16 to 20.
On scene, they located an individual, identified by police at the time as a young adult male over the age of 18, with a gunshot wound.
Phoenix police officials originally stated that the young adult had died, but later stated he was alive and taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Video from the scene showed a police command van outside of a housing complex and crime tape largely focused around a unit.
