A 15-year-old is dead after being stabbed in an Ahwatukee neighborhood, Phoenix police said.

Officers responded to an emergency call just after 3 a.m. Nov. 16 near 3800 East Lakewood Parkway, according to a Phoenix Police Department release.

Jaylen Reeves was found suffering from a stab wound “that developed from a verbal altercation between two groups of juveniles,” the release stated.

The boy was taken to a hospital where he was treated for life-threatening injuries, but he died from the stabbing, police said.

Detectives investigated and learned that Reeves was with a group of friends when a fight started between Reeves and the unidentified “suspect(s) which resulted in the stabbing,” police said.

If anyone has information or surveillance video showing suspicious activity, police ask that they call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or 480-TESTIGO.
