GLENDALE, AZ — Two men were shot and killed Monday afternoon in what appears to be a random act of violence.
The incident happened in Glendale near 51st and Northern avenues around 2:30 p.m.
Glendale police gave an update Tuesday morning about this shooting. Watch in the player below:
Glendale Police Department officials say the shooting happened when a man fired shots into the air, striking the two victims who were at a bus stop. They were both taken to a hospital and died, according to court paperwork.
The suspect, 26-year-old Dominic Celaya, then allegedly ran from the scene and started jumping walls in the nearby area.
Police used a K-9 officer to search for the suspect, who was eventually located hiding in a backyard and arrested, according to court documents.
Officials do not believe the suspect knew the victims and at this point are calling it a "random act."
The victims have been identified as 69-year-old Richard Hodakievic and 24-year-old Jaquey James.
Court paperwork shows Celaya faces two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of discharging a firearm in city limits.
