Man dies after being shot during party at New River home Sunday morning
A man is dead after he was reportedly shot early Sunday morning during a party at a home in New River.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says they were called to a home near 7th Avenue and New River Road just before 2:30 a.m. for a report of shots fired.
When deputies arrived, they found a party taking place at the home.
As they were processing the scene, they heard shots coming from inside the home.
Multiple people reportedly ran from the home, and deputies learned that the gunfire had hit someone.
Surprise Mayor: ICE processing facility will house single adults, no kids
Surprise Mayor Kevin Sartor spoke out today about the March 19 meeting between city officials, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
In that meeting, officials discussed the recent purchase of a warehouse that will be used for an ICE processing facility near Waddell and Dysart roads.
“Our number one goal has been to obtain answers and protect our community,” Sartor said. “We took your questions directly to Washington, D.C. and shared them with DHS representatives.”
Sartor said the warehouse will be transformed into a processing facility that will house undocumented immigrants for three to seven days.
Those immigrants will not be released within the Surprise community but will instead be taken to facilities in either El Paso or Salt Lake City or back to their home countries.
