Juveniles arrested in connection with deadly Phoenix drive-by shooting

PHOENIX - Phoenix Police say three boys have been arrested in connection with a drive-by shooting that left a 46-year-old man dead.

The incident happened near 29th Avenue and Madison Street on April 10. Officers had responded to a shots fired call in the area just before 1:45 a.m.

Police found 46-year-old Mark Resendez with gunshot wounds. He died at the hospital from his injuries.

"Early information indicates the man was sitting in the front of his residence when an unknown suspect drove by in a vehicle and began shooting at the victim," police said.

On June 30, police announced that three juvenile males were arrested in connection with the deadly shooting. Their names were not released because they are all underage.

"All suspects were booked into Juvenile Courts Center," read a portion of the statement released by police.

No information was released about a possible motive for the crime.

3 boys arrested for Phoenix drive-by shooting

Phoenix Police say three young boys have been arrested in connection with a drive-by shooting that left a 46-year-old man dead.

This was not the first deadly incident to have happened in the area in recent times. In February, a deadly officer-involved shooting reportedly happened outside the same home where Resendez was killed.

At the time, police were working to arrest a 47-year-old man that had stolen a U-Haul truck. The suspect pulled out a gun and that's when police opened fire, killing the suspect. No officers were injured.
