On the evening of November 23, 2020, 14-year-old Joseph Michaelson was shot inside a Phoenix home near 83rd Avenue and Indian School Road after a 16-year-old friend handling a firearm discharged it. Joseph, described by family as outgoing, athletic and nicknamed Jojo, was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his wounds. His grandparents said he had been helping them renovate their house that day; family remembered him as a prankster who loved basketball and dreamed of becoming a star.

After the shooting the group fled the scene.

Phoenix Police arrested and booked the juvenile at Durango Juvenile Detention Center on charges including aggravated assault, weapons violations and armed robbery.
