Overview
- The violent incident sequence began with a rideshare robbery and then a nearby home invasion about 20 minutes later on June 6, investigators say.
- Police and court papers say an elderly homeowner was pistol-whipped and his daughter, who has special needs from a traumatic brain injury, suffered two gunshot wounds to her arm; both were hospitalized with injuries described as non-life-threatening.
- Maricopa County prosecutors announced indictments for three teenagers — Jesus Sandoval (19), Jorge Jurado Martinez (17) and Kevin Tristan (17) — charging them with counts that include armed robbery, aggravated robbery, aggravated assault and first-degree burglary, and two 17-year-olds are being charged as adults.
- Three older men — Pete Canez (65), Robert Rosas (59) and Anthony Rosas (39) — were indicted on hindering-prosecution charges after prosecutors allege they tried to help two suspects flee toward Mexico, and an earlier arrest of an 18-year-old, Jesus Nunez, remains pending on multiple charges and a reported $250,000 bond.
- The case now moves into arraignment and pretrial proceedings in Maricopa County while police continue their investigation and the victims and neighborhood cope with the emotional and practical aftermath of the attack.
