PHOENIX — Police released more details Sunday after a man was shot and killed at a Phoenix hotel Saturday.
The Phoenix Police Department say 40-year-old Aaron Townsend was shot and killed after he entered a room and demanded money from two men inside at a hotel near the I-17 and Peoria Avenue.
According to police, the men did not give Townsend money so he just stood outside and allegedly pointed his gun at a bystander.
One of the men inside the hotel room armed himself and shot Townsend, police said. Townsend was transported to a nearby hospital where he later died.
Police said the man who shot Townsend cooperated with investigators at the scene. Several witnesses were also present and interviewed.
The investigation is ongoing.
