Overnight shooting near Scottsdale Fashion Square leaves 1 dead, another injured

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Two people were shot, and one person was detained following an overnight shooting near Scottsdale's Fashion Square.

What we know:

The deadly shooting near Camelback and Scottsdale roads was reported at around 1:15 a.m. on Sept. 6.

Two people were hospitalized with gunshot injuries in serious condition. Scottsdale Police later confirmed that one of the victims died at the hospital on Sunday, while the other is considered to be in critical condition, "but seems to be improving."

The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Jeremy La'Twan Campbell, Jr., was detained near the hotel following a short pursuit and tasting, just south of Camelback Road. He was reportedly taken to a nearby hospital with unknown injuries.

A pistol was seen at the bottom of a Best Western hotel swimming pool just north of where the shooting occurred. 

Video captured the aftermath of the shooting early Sunday morning, showing several police cars outside nearby nightclubs. Officers were seen closing part of the roadway on Camelback, while bystanders lingered outside. 

"The shooting is believed to have stemmed from two physical fights around 1 a.m. and 1:15 a.m. in front of two different nightclubs in Old Town near Saddlebag Trail and Camelback Rd.," the police department said. Both fights were broken up by officers. 

Campbell appears to be the lone, suspected shooter. Police are not searching for additional suspects. 

Witnesses Speak Out:

A visitor from out of town was in the area when he said he heard the gunshots.

"We heard the noises. I've heard that before. Me and my brother looked out, saw what was going on, saw people running, saw the police start showing up. It was a pretty nuts situation. I mean, I'm just glad that everyone I was with was OK," Jacob said. "They did a good job. There was a lot of police here. The people at the bars helped people get out, helped me and the people around me get out pretty easily."

"Instead of having a conversation, everyone's first reaction is to kill one another and I think that we forget we're all human," said Ariana Avila, who was visiting Old Town Scottsdale on Sunday afternoon. "That's crazy, like I'm shocked. I had no idea that there was even a shooting."

Some people visiting Old Town said they wish they could be notified about shootings like this.

"Like an app saying like when there's…I know that ASU has a little app to know when there's dangers going on around campus," visitor Maddyn Forks said. 

It's something some people say could save lives.

"At the end of the day, we all have a heart, we all have personalities," Avila added.

What we don't know:

The identities of the victims involved were not released, and officers are working to identify other individuals involved in the fights leading up to the shooting. Officials are conducting additional testing of the gun to confirm if it is connected to this incident. 

What you can do:

Anyone who witnessed the two fights or the shooting, has cell phone video of either incident, or has other related information, can call Scottsdale Police's tip line at 480-312-8477 (TIPS). They can remain anonymous.

What's next:

Scottsdale Police are investigating the shooting. There is no ongoing threat to the public.

Campbell is being booked into jail on charges of second-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
