A confrontation on a Glendale street in the spring of 2019 ended in deadly gunfire. On Saturday, April 13, 18-year-old Alexander John Pettygrove was riding with a friend near 67th and Peoria avenues when a verbal dispute with another driver escalated after Pettygrove threw a drink at the other vehicle. The other driver, described as a man in his 20s or 30s in an older dark blue SUV, fired multiple rounds into Pettygrove’s car.

Both Pettygrove and his 18-year-old passenger were hit. Pettygrove suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died at a local hospital; his friend was wounded but expected to survive. The shooter fled but turned himself in days later and was arrested and held on a $1 million cash bond; specific charges and the case outcome are not provided.

Anyone who was near 67th and Peoria avenues on April 13, 2019, or who has information about the altercation or the dark blue SUV is asked to come forward.
