Published 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Mesa police responded to multiple large Halloween-themed parties across the city over the past week, including incidents near Lindsay Road and University Drive, Sossaman and Ray Roads, and surrounding residential neighborhoods. Three people were shot late Tuesday night near Lindsay Road and University Drive; all victims are reported to be in stable condition and police indicate the case is under investigation. On the morning of October 29, near Sossaman and Ray Roads, an officer was struck by gunfire during a confrontation—Mesa police report the officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries and the 34-year-old suspect, who subsequently turned the gun on himself, is deceased. There are no outstanding suspects in this case.
At one of several large gatherings over the Halloween weekend, police responded to reports of disorder and a stabbing; full details on suspect status in the stabbing remain under investigation. According to Fox 10 Phoenix, authorities are also investigating multiple assaults reported at these parties.
A 44-year-old male suspect, Cory Kapahulehua, was sentenced in Maricopa County Superior Court following his conviction for sexual conduct with minors, with incidents originating from his tenure teaching at a Mesa school. The conviction and sentencing were the result of a completed jury trial.
Mesa police arrested an adult male for allegedly taking inappropriate photographs of a 15-year-old girl while she was asleep in her bedroom. The case is under active investigation.
On October 16, in the area near Alma School and Guadalupe Roads, a 92-year-old man and his wife were found deceased in what police describe as an apparent murder-suicide. The case has been closed with no further suspects sought.
National news outlets report that Donovan Hall, a Mesa resident, was sentenced to 49 months in federal prison following a conviction for sending antisemitic threats to individuals in New York. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office confirmed the sentence on October 30.
A Turquoise Alert remains active for 16-year-old Yolyn Hermios, missing from Mesa since Saturday, November 1. Mesa Police are asking for public assistance to help locate her. The department has released her description and urges anyone with relevant information to come forward.
The above incidents reflect a week marked by violence at large gatherings, isolated violent offenses, and several ongoing investigations into crimes against minors. Notably, law enforcement continues to observe disturbances and violent incidents associated with holiday gatherings. Listeners are urged to be vigilant in high-traffic social areas, especially during public celebrations.
