The shooting occurred about 2:45 a.m. April 13 near 19th Avenue and Roeser Road where police found three men with gunshot wounds.
Elijah Sanchez, 19, was pronounced dead at the scene, and 38-year-old Lucio Lopez Segura was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Another victim remains in critical condition, police said.
Authorities said a fourth man was not injured although they determined he was involved. He was interviewed and released pending further investigation, according to a release from the Phoenix Police Department.
