CHANDLER, Ariz. — Two young people are dead after a double shooting on the afternoon of Nov. 9, according to Chandler police.
Police said that around 2:40 p.m., officers were called to a city housing apartment complex near Pecos and Arizona Avenue for reports of a shooting.
When officers arrived, they found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
One of the victims, a 21-year-old man, later died at the hospital. The second victim, a 17-year-old girl, died on Nov. 17 as a result of her injuries, police said.
Police said the two suspects forced their way into another home and assaulted the homeowner before officers arrived.
Witnesses pointed officers in the direction of the suspects, and police were able to take the two suspects into custody without incident.
One of the suspects has been identified as 27-year-old Kory William Sandusky Jr., who has been booked into jail for aggravated assault, first-degree burglary, and possession of a weapon by a prohibited person.
Police said Friday they intend to file homicide charges against Sandusky early next week. Investigators are still attempting to determine how the second suspect, a 28-year-old man, was allegedly involved in the incident.
If you have any information, you are encouraged to call 911 or Chandler police at 480-782-4130.
