Police: 2 dead in south Phoenix shooting

Phoenix police swarmed an area of south Phoenix early Thursday afternoon after two people were found dead at a home near 15th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road.

Police were called to the area at about 1 p.m. Thursday for "unknown trouble," said Sgt. Vince Lewis, a Phoenix police spokesman.

Paramedics at the scene pronounced two people dead, Lewis said.

Investigators believe a car that belonged to one of the victims was taken from the scene, he said.

Police said the home where the shooting occurred, in the 1500 block of West Hadley Street, was under renovation and the home owner was allowing one of the two victims to stay at the residence.

The other victim was a friend of the person who was staying there, Lewis said.

Investigators could not immediately provide a description of the missing vehicle or the person who might have taken it.
