PEORIA, Ariz. — Peoria police are searching for an SUV that may be connected to a deadly shooting in Peoria Tuesday morning.
Police said around 4:11 a.m., officers responded to the report of a shooting in the area of 78th Drive and Sweetwater Avenue. The caller reported they heard a gunshot and saw a man lying in the street.
When officers arrived on scene, they found the man lying in the street suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency crews rendered aid to the victim and he was transported to the hospital but did not survive, officials said.
During their investigation, Peoria police obtained surveillance video from the neighborhood. The video showed a white SUV pulling a trailer, with a gray passenger car on the trailer, which is believed to be the suspect’s vehicle.
The victim’s car was traveling just a few feet behind the suspect’s vehicle before the vehicles moved out of sight of the camera, police said.
If anyone has additional information on the suspect or suspects’ vehicle, they are asked to call the Peoria Police Department or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.
