Overview
- Officers found a man who had been shot after a vehicle crash on Weldon Avenue, and investigators say he likely drove away after being shot before crashing near where he was located.
- The victim was taken to a local hospital in extremely critical condition and is fighting for his life.
- Phoenix Police closed Weldon Avenue near 43rd Avenue and Indian School Road to process the active investigation scene.
- Authorities are working to identify a suspect and are asking anyone with information to call the Phoenix Police Department or submit anonymous tips to Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or 480-TESTIGO for Spanish speakers.
- The case remains under active investigation and may change as police gather video, surveillance and witness accounts, a pattern investigators have used in recent serious Phoenix collisions that could affect charges and public safety outreach.
