PHOENIX — Phoenix police say a family fight on Wednesday night led to a shooting that left one man dead and another hospitalized.
Police say it happened at a home near 19th Street and Bell Road just before 8 p.m.
When officers arrived, they found two people with gunshot wounds. One of the victims was a teenager who was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The second victim, identified as 59-year-old Najbulla Rafie, was found on the roadway and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Twenty-eight-year-old Milad Rafie reportedly fled the scene after the incident, but returned while police were at the scene. He was taken into custody.
Milad told officials that he got into an argument with family members at the home, and he pulled out a gun and shot his teenage brother before shooting his stepfather.
Milad was booked into jail for second-degree murder and aggravated assault.
On Tuesday night, a teenager was shot and killed near 12th Street and Bell Road, but police say the two incidents aren't believed to be related.
Police continue to investigate both shootings.
