Skeletal remains found near historic Tovrea Castle in Phoenix. What to know
The demolition of a home on the Tovrea Castle property near 50th and Van Buren streets was put on pause after skeletal remains were discovered. Phoenix police said they responded to a report of a dead body just before noon on May 8 near 50th and Van Buren streets. Officers arrived and learned of the plans to demolish a nearby house when the remains were found. Phoenix police said more information regarding the identity of the person found and their manner of death would be determined through an examination by the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner. Phoenix police released no additional information. Tovrea Castle at Carraro Heights was built as a resort destination in the late 1920s in what is now metro Phoenix. However, it ended up being a private residence. Now owned by the city of Phoenix and operated by Tovrea Carraro Society, the castle is a four-story, 5,000-square-foot architectural wonder on a 40-acre property, according to its website. It opened to the public in 2012 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. On Jan. 22, Phoenix police say two men were seen on surveillance video breaking into the castle, damaging the front doors and breaking light fixtures. The castle has been damaged several times in the past. In 2023, a man was charged with burglary and criminal damage after breaking in and causing an estimated $50,000 in damages.

Phoenix police did not shoot woman, Gilbert police say. Here's everything we know
Gilbert police said evidence shows a woman was shot earlier this month by her alleged kidnapper, not Phoenix police officers. Around 12:20 a.m. on Feb. 12, Phoenix police officers fired their weapons near Williams Field and Higley roads in Gilbert. They arrived there by tracking down David Garcia, 41, and a 25-year-old woman. Hours earlier, a 911 caller said he saw a man forcing a woman into a truck at gunpoint, according to Phoenix police. The caller said he attempted to follow the truck as it drove away, but Garcia shot at him. Phoenix police said officers spent hours looking for the truck until they found it in Mesa and followed it into Gilbert. Garcia and the woman were hospitalized with gunshot wounds. Garcia later died. No police officers were injured. On Wednesday, Gilbert police said preliminary ballistics tests showed that none of the bullets fired by Phoenix police officers hit the woman. A bullet fragment recovered from the victim was from Garcia's gun, said spokesperson Brenda Carrasco. The woman was in stable condition at the hospital and was expected to survive, Carrasco said. Garcia died by homicide, according to Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner records. Carrasco said Gilbert police are continuing their investigation into the police shooting, which will be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office when it's completed.
