GLENDALE, AZ — A man is in custody after two people were shot near 67th Avenue and Bethany Home Road early Wednesday morning.

Officers were first called to the area around 3 a.m. when a "ShotSpotter" system was activated following apparent gunshots. Soon after, multiple emergency calls were received regarding a shooting.

Police were approached by one of the victims while conducting an unrelated traffic stop. That person was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Meanwhile, a second victim was found on the sidewalk near the location where police received a ShotSpotter activation nearby. That victim had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The victim has since been identified as 29-year-old Mar'Quane McQueen

One person was detained near where the second victim was found.

That person, identified as 30-year-old Steven Gonzalez, has since been arrested and is facing multiple charges, including first degree murder.

Originally, police said they were investigating whether a second person may have been involved in the shooting.

Now, police believe Gonzalez acted alone and there are no suspects outstanding and no further threat to the public.
