A man and a juvenile were among several people shot during a fight after a house party in north Phoenix early Sunday morning.
According to the Phoenix Police Department, it began late Saturday night when officers responded to a house party near 25th Avenue and Paradise Lane, south of Bell Road, and told the crowd to disperse.
Police said there were no further issues at that time, and the crowd left.
Just before 5 a.m., first responders were called to a reported shooting at a nearby QuikTrip near 29th Avenue and Bell Road. Police said the crowd scattered, and a vehicle carrying five people sped away.
