Phoenix homicide suspect considered 'armed and dangerous'
The Brief
Homicide detectives are seeking answers after a deadly shooting in north Phoenix.
The suspect, identified as Joseph Jennings, is also known to go by the names John or J.J.
Police say Jennings is considered armed and dangerous.
PHOENIX - Homicide detectives are seeking answers after a deadly shooting, and law enforcement is now asking the community to help find a suspect.
Detectives were able to uncover information and evidence that led to identifying the suspect, and they're now looking for the community's help in trying to locate this individual.
What we know
At 5 p.m. on May 19, officers were called to the area of 35th Avenue and Rose Garden in North Phoenix.
When they arrived at the scene, they found a man with a gunshot wound. Phoenix Fire Department crews transported him to an area hospital.
Sgt. Lorraine Fernandez says the victim, identified as 30-year-old Seth Moisoff, did not survive his injuries.
The backstory
"The investigation continued to the point where detectives were able to not just talk with witnesses, but also find evidence from surveillance cameras and identify the suspect," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Brian Bower.
"Detectives now know the suspect's identity: Joseph Jennings. They know who he is, but they don't know where he is, and that's what they're hoping the community might be able to help with. He is known to go by the name of John, J.J., and is still known to live in the area. Authorities are hoping somebody might recognize him."
Bower added, "He's definitely got a unique face. He's an older gentleman. He may shave his beard. He may cut his hair. But I think if folks look at his picture, they'll be able to identify him if he's walking down the street, going into one of the different restaurants, a gas station nearby."

Immigrants at ICE check-ins detained, then held in basement of federal building in Los Angeles, some overnight
Many undocumented immigrants who went to their Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) check-in appointments at a federal building in Los Angeles this week were taken into custody and brought to the basement and held there, some overnight, according to immigration lawyers and family members. It was unclear how many people were affected, but the attorneys told CBS News hundreds of immigrants were detained – dozens in the basement in rooms that could fit up to 30 at a time. CBS News reached out to the representatives of ICE and the Department of Homeland Security for comment. One attorney, Lizbeth Mateo, said ICE officials slated several of her clients for check-ins at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in downtown L.A. but when they showed up on Tuesday, they were detained and immediately escorted to the basement. Mateo said a couple and their two children, one of whom is a U.S. citizen, spent the night in a room with no beds and limited access to food and water. Mateo said the father had previously been issued a stay of removal, barring him from deportation but he and his family were detained anyway. His wife was released Wednesday evening along with their children since she needed medical attention due to a high-risk pregnancy. He was still being detained early Friday, Mateo said. "This is something I've never seen before," she added. "Under the first Trump administration, I represented clients with very difficult cases, but never anything like this. Under any other circumstance, he would have been released." On Thursday evening, CBS News spoke to people waiting outside the building who claimed they had relatives in the basement who were texting them. "We are telling them that we are waiting for them outside and to remain calm," a woman using the name Maria to protect her identity told CBS News. "We just want to make sure their children, my nieces, have food." Maria said her brother was in the basement along with his wife and their two children – they'd been scheduled for an ICE check-in on Thursday morning. Their asylum requests had previously been denied in court. The family was apparently still being held early Friday. Immigration lawyers said it was also unclear why people were being held in that basement. "They're having to literally house these immigrants in a makeshift detention center, which on its face is illegal," said Juan Proaño, Chief Executive Officer of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). "It is beyond inhumane treatment for any immigrant and in this particular case, you're talking about families." CBS News obtained internal government data showing arrests by ICE during President Trump's second term topped 100,000 this week, as federal agents intensified efforts to detain unauthorized immigrants in courthouses, worksites and communities across the U.S. ICE recorded more than 2,000 arrests on Tuesday and again on Wednesday, a dramatic increase from the daily average of 660 arrests reported by the agency during Mr. Trump's first 100 days back at the White House, the federal statistics show. During former President Joe Biden's last year in office, ICE averaged roughly 300 daily arrests, according to agency data. The latest numbers show ICE is getting closer to meeting the demands of top administration officials like White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, an immigration hardliner who has forcefully pushed the agency to make "a minimum" of 3,000 arrests each day. "The Trump administration, DHS, ICE have gotten way ahead of themselves. They haven't necessarily planned this properly and don't have the capacity required in order to continue with these large-scale deportations," Proaño asserted. contributed to this report.

New Yorkers Can't Remove Mayors for Misconduct. That Could Change Soon.
After Mayor Eric Adams of New York City was indicted last year on federal corruption charges, he faced steady calls for his resignation or removal. He did not resign. And Gov. Kathy Hochul, the only person in New York empowered to force a mayor to leave office, declined to begin removal proceedings. Now a group of city officials want to create another legal option to kick a mayor out of office. A Charter Revision Commission, created last year by the City Council, will recommend on Friday that voters be presented with a ballot question to decide whether the Council should be granted the power to begin removal proceedings. Danielle Castaldi-Micca, the panel's executive director, said in an interview that the city had a 'pretty traumatic year' and there was 'frustration among the public about the existing means of removing the mayor.' 'There isn't a means of local control over this,' she said. 'What we're looking at is creating a means of local control, and there is a high bar because there should be a high bar.' She said the process would only be used in 'extraordinary circumstances' when a mayor had been accused of wrongdoing. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
