Jaylan Montrell Collins, 16, was shot and killed at Snedigar Sportsplex in Chandler, Arizona, on the evening of March 10, 2024. Officers responded to reports of gunfire around 9 p.m. and found three teenagers with gunshot wounds near the park’s northwest end. Collins was pronounced dead at the scene; two 17-year-old victims from San Tan Valley suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators say the shooting appears to have occurred between two groups who knew each other and described the incident as isolated, not presenting a wider threat to the public. A vehicle with multiple bullet holes was towed from the scene. The Chandler Police Department identified and arrested 19-year-old Javion Keandre Brown; he was booked on first-degree murder and aggravated robbery charges.

Collins was the youngest son of Jesse and Tanesha; the community has organized a fundraiser to help the family. If anyone was at Snedigar Sportsplex that night or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
