Phoenix police say when they arrived, they found a man and woman both suffering from gunshot wounds.

The man, 31-year-old Edgar Peralta, was pronounced dead at the scene and the woman was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say they believe the shooting happened because of an argument at a party.

Officers initially said they detained someone at the scene but said Monday that they are looking for more information about anyone who may have been involved.

Anyone with information is asked to call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS, or 480-TESTIGO for Spanish, and provide an anonymous tip. Rewards will be paid for information leading to an arrest in this case.
