PHOENIX — An 18-year-old boy was arrested this afternoon after he shot and killed his stepfather at their north Phoenix home, the city's police department said.
Phoenix police officers were called to a shooting incident at Cheryl Drive around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday. When officers got to the apartment complex, they spoke to the 18-year-old, later identified as Camron Greenwood, and a witness.
