GOODYEAR, AZ — Goodyear police have made an arrest in the deadly shooting of a 19-year-old man in May of 2022.
Police say Mohamed Salim Abdullah was shot and killed at a house party in the area of Litchfield Road and Western Avenue, south of Van Buren Street, around 1 a.m. on May 14.
Abdullah was found in a backyard with shooting injuries and was taken to the hospital where he later died.
A large crowd of people was fleeing the area when police arrived and officers heard gunshots from several vehicles that were driving away.
Detectives located and arrested 18-year-old Angel Vidales-Hernandez recently in connection to the shooting after more than a year of interviewing witnesses and looking over surveillance video.
Witnesses said there was a disagreement between the suspect and Abdullah before the deadly shooting occurred.
Vidales-Hernandez is being held on a $500,000 bond and faces one count of second-degree murder.
