Phoenix shooting leaves one man dead, suspect in jail
Posted
Phoenix Police detectives are investigating a shooting that left a man dead and one in jail on Monday.
Around 4:20 p.m. on Monday, Phoenix police officers responded to the area of 13th Street and Cinnabar Avenue regarding a shooting. When officers arrived, they located an adult male with at least one gunshot wound. The man was transported to a local hospital but did not survive his injuries and was pronounced deceased. Officers on scene conducted follow-up and identified that suspect as 33-year-old Robert Roach. Roach was located and arrested near the scene.
Detectives responded to assume the investigation. Preliminary information regarding this shooting suggests that Roach committed an armed robbery of the victim during which the victim was shot resulting in his death.
Roach was booked into jail by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday on one count each of homicide, robbery, criminal trespass and burglary, probation violation and a weapons violation as well as five counts of kidnapping, according to MCSO.
