A late-night party near 46th Street and McDowell Road in Phoenix ended in deadly gunfire on the early morning of August 14, 2022. A physical altercation among several men escalated when one person produced a handgun and, while attempting to flee, fired multiple rounds into the crowd. Carlos Roberto Santos-Noriega, 43, was found at the scene and pronounced dead by the fire department; four other partygoers were wounded, including a juvenile female with life-threatening injuries and three adults with non-life-threatening wounds.

Witnesses at the house detained an individual identified as 18-year-old Bryan Sapon-Deleon and held him until police arrived. Sapon-Deleon sustained a non-life-threatening laceration during the altercation and was treated at a hospital before being booked into the Maricopa County Jail on August 16, 2022. He faces first-degree murder and multiple counts of aggravated assault. Detectives continued processing the scene and interviewing witnesses to reconstruct the events that night.
