On September 1, 2022, 18-year-old Trevonsay Sales was fatally shot inside a north Phoenix boys’ group home near 19th Avenue and Hatcher Road. A dispute inside the residence escalated and a firearm was discharged; emergency personnel found Sales in extremely critical condition and he later died from his injuries.

Police identified a fellow resident of the group home as the primary suspect and took a 17-year-old male into custody; the teenager’s name was not released because of his juvenile status. The shooting prompted questions about the group home’s ability to keep residents safe.

If anyone knew Trevonsay, lived near that group home, or has information about what happened that day, please share what you know with investigators.
