Carson James Dumbrell was 21 when he was shot and killed at a house party in Glendale, Arizona, on September 5, 2015. The shooting occurred near 67th Avenue and Pinnacle Peak Road; Dumbrell was pronounced dead at the scene. The party host, 21-year-old Jordan Hanson, asked guests to leave late that night, which led to a verbal dispute with Dumbrell that escalated into a physical altercation. Hanson fired a single shot that struck Dumbrell, then briefly fled before contacting police and being taken into custody.

Hanson was arrested and charged with second-degree homicide. At trial he claimed self-defense; in February 2017 a jury found him guilty of second-degree murder and he was later sentenced to 12 years in prison. Dumbrell’s family also pursued a wrongful death suit that resulted in a civil judgment ordering Hanson to pay more than $2 million, and a criminal restitution order of over $560,000 was issued. Has anyone who knew Carson or who attended that party come forward with additional information about what happened that night?
