Overview

  • Mesa police identified the victim as 33-year-old Miguel Rodriguez, who was shot, taken to a hospital and later died.
  • Multiple 911 calls reported the shooting near US 60 and Alma School Road and officers responded to the scene.
  • Investigators say others involved stayed at the location and cooperated with police but no one has been arrested.
  • Alma School Road was temporarily closed at US 60 during the response and news helicopter footage showed two pickup trucks at the scene.
