Phoenix Police are investigating a confusing and deadly scene involving two motorcyclists on Nov. 28 near the I-17 overpass at 7th Avenue.

What we know:

Police say one motorcyclist, Job Martinez, shot and killed the other, Scott Kikes, during a dispute. Moments later, a driver struck and killed Martinez. The driver left the scene but remained nearby, police said.

"Very confusing scene. Detectives worked multiple hours to piece out what happened. Tragic and very concerning for our community as well," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Jen Zak.

Zak said detectives are trying to determine if the driver was a third-party witness or if they were involved in the dispute.

"We do know that individual saw that person getting shot and did hit the person doing the shooting," Zak said. "As to how that ties into this whole scene, whether he was a third party unknown, we're still working on the details of that."
