The incident happened on Monday morning near 27th Avenue and Broadway Road.

During the investigation, authorities were contacted by a man in Glendale claiming to be involved in the shooting. Detectives detained a suspect and determined he and the victims knew each other and the shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute.
