PHOENIX — Police are asking for the public’s help identifying a person connected to a shooting that left a 16-year-old boy dead in south Phoenix last month.

On Thursday, Phoenix Police released a photo of the person, who detectives believe may have information about the case.

Person of Interest

Anyone who recognizes the person is asked to contact the Phoenix Police Department or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS (480-948-6377). Callers can remain anonymous.

The shooting originally happened around 7:45 p.m. on October 2 near 37th Street and La Salle Street, just west of 40th Street and Southern Avenue.

When officers arrived, they found two teen boys with gunshot wounds.

One of them, 16-year-old Trey Bomelyn, was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later died.

Police have since arrested three teenagers in connection with the shooting. Each has been charged with murder and is being prosecuted as an adult.
