A dispute at a home on West Yucca Street in Phoenix on January 22, 2024, ended in an exchange of gunfire that left both men dead. Officers responding to reports of a shooting at about 5:20 p.m. found 61-year-old Martin Lewis inside the residence with at least one gunshot wound; he was treated by the fire department but pronounced deceased at the scene. A search of the home uncovered the homeowner, Richard Hall, who had also been shot and was pronounced dead at the location.

Phoenix police detectives say the two men were involved in a dispute that escalated into gunfire and that both succumbed to their wounds. No suspects or arrests have been announced, and investigators continued to work on the circumstances of the confrontation into late January 2024. An obituary naming Richard Cooper Hall, aged 86, who died the same day, introduces a slight discrepancy in the reported age of the homeowner.

If anyone knew Richard Hall or Martin Lewis or has information about what led to the deadly exchange, please share what you know.
