Court documents show Dooley has an extensive criminal history. He has 15 prior felony charges which include armed robbery, participating in a criminal street gang and multiple charges related to the sale of drugs. Court records show he is currently on felony probation out of Georgia for armed robbery.
Tempe police responded to the shooting near Myrtle Avenue and 7th Street around 6 a.m. Monday and found a 30-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the chest. He later died at a hospital, police said. He has not been identified.
Surveillance video showed a man running from the scene wearing light-colored slip-on sandals and dark sweater, which were later linked to Dooley. A wallet was found where surveillance video showed the suspect running from the scene, which had Dooley's ID inside, according to documents.
Police contacted the victim's girlfriend, who was shown Dooley's photo, documents said. She confirmed Dooley and the victim knew each other and said Dooley had "beef" with the victim.
After his arrest, Dooley confirmed to police that he did know the victim and had discussed buying drugs with him, but did not admit to shooting him, documents show.
Dooley is being held on a cash-only bond of $500,000. If he makes bond, he will be required to wear an electronic monitoring system.
Neither the victim nor the suspect are affiliated with ASU.
