A confrontation that began with a denied entry turned fatal outside a Phoenix bar and grill on July 3, 2022. Jordan James Davis, 35, worked as a security guard and refused entry to 34-year-old Daniel Stuart; the refusal escalated into a physical fight in the parking lot. Stuart allegedly produced a firearm and shot Davis. Another security guard at the scene reportedly exchanged gunfire with Stuart.

Phoenix officers arrived about 1:30 a.m. and found Davis in the parking lot with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and later died. Stuart, who fled on foot after the shooting, had also been shot and sought treatment at a hospital; he later died of his injuries. The second security guard was detained and is cooperating with investigators. Detectives interviewed multiple witnesses and will submit the case file to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for review.

Are there witnesses who were in that parking lot the morning of July 3 who can add details about what happened?
