A 23-year-old man is dead following a fight Wednesday night at a central Phoenix motel, police said.
The suspect involved provided authorities with a self-defense claim when they were detained and was released pending further investigation.
Officers were called to the motel near 24th and Jackson streets just before 6:15 p.m. Feb. 28 and found Zykel-Amani Woodard, 23, with a gunshot wound. Phoenix fire personnel responded to treat Woodard and took him to a hospital where he died.
Detectives said they learned the two men were in a argument prior to the shooting, and the suspect left before police arrived.
