A suspect or motive continue to remain unknown in a double shooting that left one man dead and another seriously hurt on Friday.

Officers responded at around 1:30 p.m., and when they arrived, two men were found with at least one gunshot wound each. Both were taken to a nearby hospital, where one of them, identified as 25-year-old Manuel Fonseca, died.

What We Know Now:

According to a statement released by Phoenix Police on Jan. 5, 20-year-old Daniel Zamora has been arrested and accused of murder and aggravated assault. A second person, identified as 29-year-old Ricky Zamora, has been arrested and accused of hindering prosecution.

Police confirmed to FOX 10 that the two are brothers.

"This remains an active investigation with the possibility of additional suspects being involved," read a portion of Phoenix Police's statement.

Dig deeper:

Per Daniel's court documents, Fonseca and another person were shot following a fight at the scene. As for the other victim, investigators said they suffered life-threatening injuries. Neither the police nor court documents identified that victim.

"Approximately 17 casings were located on scene, all 9mm in caliber," read a portion of the court documents. "Multiple witnesses on scene advised they had been in the area when they heard multiple gunshots, after hearing a verbal and physical altercation had occurred between multiple subjects."

In addition, investigators said, "multiple juvenile children were observed by witnesses as having arrived with both victims at the barbershop and present during the shooting incident."

Daniel, according to court documents, was arrested at a home near the area of 15th Avenue and Utopia Road in North Phoenix.

According to court documents, a judge has set a $1 million cash-only bond for Daniel. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Jan. 12.
