Five Arrested After Old Town Scottsdale Shootings

Police say warrant-backed evidence now ties the group to the gunfire.

Overview

  • The Scottsdale case, which began with 2 a.m. Wednesday gunfire at a Circle K near Camelback and Miller and continued at a nearby apartment complex, has led to five men jailed on felony counts.
  • Police say an officer shot 20-year-old Brandon Lamont Robert Warfield Jr. after he reached for his waistband; he was arrested near East Hazelwood Street, treated for non-life-threatening wounds, and booked on assault on an officer, trespass, and resisting arrest.
  • Detectives report that firearms, surveillance video, and witness statements gathered during Friday search warrants linked the suspects to the multiple shooting scenes.
  • Christian Santiago Grant was first found hiding in a clothes dryer, then re-arrested after new evidence and now faces aggravated assault with a deadly weapon along with criminal damage and resisting arrest.
  • Fredrion Lleon Arnes Thomas faces prohibited-possessor and gunfire charges, Ba’nari Douglas-Clay was arrested in Tempe for possessing a gun as a prohibited possessor, and Quassan Marcus Cunningham was rebooked on aggravated assault; Scottsdale will review the officer’s force and Mesa police will investigate independently.
