The crowd was originally protesting against police brutality and the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, but a group of protesters broke off and the situation escalated violently.
The event spurred Gov. Doug Ducey to declare a statewide curfew that lasted over a week, but the protests since have stayed peaceful.
Scottsdale police say a total of 44 people have now been arrested for the incident, and investigators are continuing to search for more suspects.
