Leon Greer was 19 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in Phoenix in the early hours of New Year’s Day 2023. Just after 2:00 a.m., he and four others left a nightclub, stopped for gas at a Circle K, and later were traveling near Interstate 10 and Jefferson Street when a car pulled alongside their Mercedes SUV and opened fire. Multiple rounds struck two passengers; Greer was found with a gunshot wound at a Waffle House parking lot and was taken to a hospital where he died. A second victim was shot in the leg and taken to a different hospital by an unknown person for non-life-threatening injuries.

Phoenix police investigators, including gang and special assignments units, said the attack was believed to be retaliatory and connected to a feud between south Phoenix gangs. On January 20, 2023, authorities arrested two men, identified as Gary Green, 35, and Randale Thomas, 30, described as documented gang members. Searches of their homes turned up several firearms, including a 9mm pistol matching shell casings from the scene. Both were booked into the Maricopa County jail on charges that included first-degree murder and assault.

Does anyone have information about Greer’s movements that night or about activity near Interstate 10 and Jefferson Street around 2:00 a.m. on January 1, 2023?
