PHOENIX -- Police are looking for two suspects after a teen was discovered shot to death at a Phoenix townhouse complex Thursday morning.

Police have not identified the 16-year-old boy who was reportedly shot in the face.

Officer Luis Samudio with the Phoenix Police Department said a maintenance person called police after finding a man’s body near 68th and Devonshire avenues, just north of Indian School Road, at about 6 a.m.

He found the boy near a tool shed.

Police say one man was described as a 30-year-old Hispanic male with a shaved head, about 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 160 to 170 pounds. 

A second suspect was described as a 25-year-old Hispanic, 6 feet tall, 200 pounds with short dark hair.
 
Police had responded to the location twice before the victim was found. Apparently there were calls of shots fired and a call of a fight.

At about 11 p.m. Wednesday, police reportedly found a victim with a cut to his head

He was taken to the hospital, but was apparently being uncooperative.

Police said he only told them that a white 4-door car pulled up to him and some men got out and attacked him.

Police said they did not know whether the incidents were related.
