According to Phoenix police, one person was killed and eight people were injured in a nighttime shooting inside a strip mall at 10th Avenue and Hatcher.

When a brawl broke out between different groups outside the strip mall shortly after 1 am on June 4, police said about 100 individuals had gathered for some type of party.

The situation quickly escalated into a series of gunfires shot inside the building, in the parking lot, and on the street. Police stated that "many rounds were shot into this crowd of people as they fled the area."

At the hospital, one woman died from her injuries, while two other ladies are in critical condition.
