A confrontation in a Phoenix apartment complex parking lot on the night of December 8, 2023, left 40-year-old Omari King dead. Officers were called about 10:15 p.m. to the Tela Verda Apartments at 5020 West Thunderbird Road and found two men shot. King had at least one gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene; a second adult male was wounded and taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.

Investigators say King approached a group of three young men in the southeast corner of the complex and questioned them about being on the property. The encounter reportedly turned violent when one of the suspects fired as King turned to run; he was shot multiple times. Authorities describe the three suspects as two Black males and one Hispanic male, each roughly 18 years old, and provided clothing and height details for each. No arrests have been announced.

Did anyone see activity at the Tela Verda complex that night or recognize the descriptions of the three suspects?
