Published 9 months, 1 week ago
Description
Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred near Mesa Drive and Broadway Road. The suspect is reported to be in stable condition as the investigation continues. In a separate incident, authorities responded to a shooting in the parking lot of a Home Depot near Rio Salado Parkway and Dobson Road. According to FOX 10 Phoenix, a suspect has been arrested following the shooting, which resulted in one death. The case remains open as detectives determine motive and gather witness statements.
A house fire in the vicinity of Sossaman Road and Broadway on July 7 resulted in one fatality. Officials have confirmed the death, and the cause of the fire is currently under investigation. Fire and police personnel are working together to determine if foul play was a factor.
Near Southern Avenue and Dobson Road, police say 42-year-old Shamonica Cannon was involved in an incident resulting in her 16-year-old son being accidentally shot during an alleged struggle over a firearm. The teen is expected to survive, and Cannon faces charges of aggravated assault and endangerment. The investigation is ongoing.
Mesa police made an arrest after a dentist was accused of attempting to entice minors to send nude photographs and possessing sexually explicit material involving children. The suspect was taken into custody and faces multiple charges. This case is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with additional information to contact law enforcement.
A separate case resulted in the sentencing of 27-year-old Charles Smith to one year in prison, with credit for time served, after spraying pesticides on produce at a Mesa grocery store. Smith was also sentenced to three years’ probation for criminal damage and solicitation to commit burglary.
Mesa police responded to a collision near Loop 202 in which a wrong-way driver is believed to have contributed to the crash. No fatalities were reported, and the investigation into the circumstances is still active.
During swift water rescue training on July 8 at the Salt River, Mesa Fire Department personnel rescued an unresponsive 75-year-old man seen floating in the water. The man’s current condition has not been released, and officials are piecing together the circumstances leading up to the incident.
Police have not released suspect descriptions for any cases where public assistance is being requested at this time.
This past week’s incidents reflect a combination of violent crime, accidental injuries, and public safety events in several key areas across Mesa, particularly near downtown corridors and major intersections such as Mesa Drive and Broadway, Rio Salado Parkway and Dobson Road, Sossaman and Broadway, and Southern and Dobson. Listeners are asked to watch for official updates regarding open cases, particularly those involving ongoing investigations into recent shootings and fires.
No significant trends or crime patterns were identified beyond the typical volume observed for summer months in these neighborhoods.
