It happened near 75th Avenue and Deer Valley Road.
Police spent hours in the neighborhood Monday after learning a teenager came home and told a family member they were shot.
"It was a shock. I was coming home from Target and could not even get inside of my house,” said McKenzie Rollins.
Rollins first saw the yellow tape then the police.
"I was just confused because stuff like this doesn't happen in this neighborhood, added Rollins.
Police tell ABC15, late Monday afternoon, a 17-year-old returned to their home on 79th Drive after being shot.
But, investigators do not believe the shooting happened there. Instead, near 94th Avenue and Beardsley about two miles away.
Police have not made any arrests as they work to learn what led up to the shooting.
The investigation remains ongoing.
