A late-night shooting near First and Washington streets in downtown Phoenix left a young man dead and three women wounded. In the early morning hours of December 28, 2025, 21-year-old Eyosiyas Belema Jote suffered a gunshot wound to the head about 2:15 a.m.; three women were also injured and taken to hospital with wounds described as not life-threatening. All four were transported to a local hospital, where Eyosiyas remained in critical condition.

Phoenix Police homicide detectives arrested 22-year-old Keon Malik Joubert on December 29, 2025; he was booked on four counts of aggravated assault while the investigation continued. Eyosiyas died of his injuries on January 3, 2026. After his death, police said they were working with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office to consider upgrading charges against Joubert and indicated they did not believe other suspects were involved.

Does anyone have information about Eyosiyas, the people injured that night, or the events near First and Washington on December 28 that could help investigators?
