A downtown Phoenix shooting on April 27, 2025, left 26-year-old Jiehiason Lane mortally wounded. Officers responding to reports of gunfire near 700 North 1st Street found Lane with at least one gunshot wound around 12:38 a.m.; he was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died. Detectives opened a homicide investigation and canvassed for witnesses and cell phone footage that might have captured the incident.

Over the next eight days investigators followed leads that they say narrowed the inquiry to a single suspect. On May 5, 2025, detectives located and arrested 23-year-old Jose Garcia; he was booked on second-degree murder charges. Authorities indicated they do not believe there are any other outstanding suspects.

If anyone in downtown Phoenix that night saw the shooting or has footage, please share it with the Phoenix Police Department.
