2nd person dies in Chandler shooting, police to file homicide charges

Posted

A 17-year-old girl has died from wounds suffered in a shooting earlier this month, and Chandler police said Friday they  expect to file homicide charges against the suspect early next week.

The teen, who died at a hospital Thursday, Nov. 17,  is the second fatality in the shooting that occurred Nov. 9 in the 600 block of South Palm Lane.  A 19-year-old man died following a shooting.

A suspect, Korey William Sandusky Jr, 27, was booked into Maricopa County Jail for aggravated assault, first-degree burglary and possession of a weapon by a prohibited person, police said, adding the charges stem from a second crime scene, where, they said, Sandusky forced his way into a home near Hartford and Fairview streets. 

Police said homicide charges are pending in the shootings.

A second person, a 28-year-old man, was jailed on a misdemeanor warrant as police continue to investigate his role in the incident, police said earlier this month. 

Police did not have information on what led to the shooting and have not identified the victims during the investigation.

Sandusky remains in the Maricopa County Jail on a "no bond status," police said Friday, Nov. 18, adding they will file homicide charges with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office early next week.

"At that time, Chandler PD should have additional information to provide regarding this investigation," authorities said in a release.
