On March 12, 2018, 26-year-old Lual Deng and 52-year-old Wol Ding were shot and killed in the parking lot of an apartment complex near 19th and Glendale avenues in Phoenix. Ding was pronounced dead at the scene; Deng was taken to a hospital and later died of his wounds. Reports describe a long-simmering dispute between Deng, Ding and a third person that ended in a planned confrontation. That third person reportedly brought two brothers, Lloyd, 32, and Devane, 30, Lambert, and a physical fight quickly escalated into an exchange of gunfire in which both victims were armed.

Later the same day the Lambert brothers went to detectives; one brother had a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Investigators found both brothers were prohibited from possessing firearms because of prior felony convictions and booked them on misconduct involving weapons charges. Deng had come to the U.S. as a refugee from a camp in Kenya after fleeing conflict in South Sudan and helped his mother raise four younger brothers; his death prompted a community fundraiser to assist the family with funeral and burial expenses.

Does anyone have information about the lead-up to the March 12 confrontation or those involved?
