PHOENIX — Phoenix police say they are investigating a shooting after a man was found dead early Friday morning near Chandler Boulevard and 48th Street.

Officers were called to an Ahwatukee apartment complex just before 1 a.m. on December 12.

Police say they found 37-year-old David Martin in a doorway, who had been shot, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers had to help family members exit their apartment by using a ladder to guide them onto a balcony so they wouldn’t cross through the crime scene.

Police did not immediately identify a suspect; however, following a months-long investigation, detectives were able to track down a suspect who they learned moved out of state shortly after the incident.

On February 20, 2026, police announced the arrest of 49-year-old Keith Farrow. He was located in Massachusetts and was arrested with the help of Massachusetts State Police. He is currently awaiting extradition to Arizona to face charges.

Details of the investigation and how Farrow was involved have not been provided.
