PHOENIX — A West Phoenix barricade situation ended after police took suspects into custody late Tuesday night, the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) said.
Detectives patrolling near the intersection of 100th Avenue and Mariposa Street "observed evidence of a possible drive-by shooting at a residence," DPS said. The investigators then found a Chevrolet Malibu matching the description of the suspected vehicle.
Officials said 14 rounds were fired, striking a vehicle and an "occupied structure." None of the occupants were injured.
Authorities reportedly tried to make contact with the occupants of the vehicle, but they fled into a nearby residence where they barricaded themselves inside, deputies said.
One of the suspects was seen running from the area after reportedly leaving a stolen gun. Another suspect allegedly tried fleeing from the residence. Both suspects in addition to another one who reportedly was driving a stolen Dodge Durango, were all taken into custody.
Detectives said they seized seven guns, a vehicle and numerous rounds of ammunition.
On Thursday, the DPS identified the suspects as 18-year-old Jeremiah L. Barnes, 18-year-old Khalil Jessie Pugh and 18-year-old Kain Garcez.
