PHOENIX — A man has been arrested in connection to a shooting near a Phoenix intersection in early February that left a teen hospitalized.
According to police, a group of people were arguing near 40th Street and McDowell Road on February 4 when the suspect, later identified as 20-year-old Gabriel Martinez, pulled out a gun and shot the victim.
The teen was taken to the hospital with serious injuries but was expected to survive. An update on the victim's condition was not immediately available.
