Former Carl Hayden High School athlete Kendre Pride killed in Phoenix shooting
Corrections & Clarifications: Kendre Pride attended Carl Hayden Community High School in Phoenix. Another high school was incorrectly listed in a previous version of the article. A 20-year-old man who was a star two-sport athlete in high school was killed in a shooting at a Phoenix apartment, according to police. Officers responded to an apartment complex near 32nd and Glendale avenues at around 5:10 p.m. on June 7 after receiving reports of gunshots. They found Kendre Pride with at least one gunshot wound, according to department spokesperson Sgt. Rob Scherer. Pride did not survive his injuries and was pronounced dead at the apartment, Scherer said. Homicide detectives took over the investigation, Scherer said. It was not known if police had identified any suspects. He encouraged anyone with information regarding the incident to contact Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or 480-TESTIGO for Spanish to provide an anonymous tip. Rewards will be paid for information leading to an arrest in this case, Scherer said. Pride was a top junior two-sport athlete in the state who attended Carl Hayden Community High School in Phoenix in 2022 and played as a running back in football and as a guard in basketball. Pride was supposed to move to Basha High School in Chandler but ended up not doing so. He was listed as having played as a defensive back at Feather River College in Quincy, California, in fall 2024, according to the school's website.
