Teen Arrested After Early Morning Shooting Claims Life of 19-Year-Old in West Phoenix

A 19-year-old man was fatally shot in the early hours of Monday in a residential neighborhood of west Phoenix, leading to the arrest of a teenage suspect shortly afterward.

Phoenix police responded to reports of a shooting near 84th Avenue and Pioneer Street, located just south of Lower Buckeye Road, at approximately 3:30 a.m. Upon arrival, officers discovered the lifeless body of Angel Olguin, who had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Authorities began a swift investigation, canvassing the area for leads and potential witnesses. Not long after the incident, officers were able to identify and detain a teenage suspect, who has not been named due to being a minor.

Officials have not released further details about the motive or the relationship, if any, between the suspect and the victim. The investigation remains active, and detectives are continuing to gather evidence and interview individuals who may have information relevant to the case.

This incident marks another tragic example of gun violence impacting young lives in urban communities. The Phoenix Police Department urges anyone with additional information to come forward and assist with the investigation.
