An alleged burglar is out of the hospital after being shot by a Phoenix homeowner.

Police were called to the home near Broadway Road and 63rd Avenue around 8 p.m. on Dec. 20 after neighbors heard gunshots.

According to police, three suspects were attempting to rob the home when the 19-year-old homeowner shot two of the suspects.

Police say 19-year-old suspect Davonte Williams was pronounced dead and 18-year-old suspect Christopher Xavier Jackson was hospitalized for a gunshot wound. Police have also arrested a third suspect Dashawn Qhameek Anderson.

Jackson was arrested by police on Dec. 23, after he was released from the hospital. Police say Jackson fled from the scene and attempted to hide his handgun under the seat of his girlfriend's car.

Anderson ran from the scene but was located and arrested by police on December 30.

Police say Jackson and Anderson are suspects in several other armed robberies. 

They have been charged with several crimes including murder, aggravated assault and attempted armed robbery.
