Glendale police want to talk to these people about mass shooting at restaurant
Glendale police asked the public on May 7 to help detectives identify three people who were present for a mass shooting that killed three and injured five at El Camaron Gigante, which is roughly a block away from the city's historic downtown, on May 4. Before the shooting, hundreds of people were attending a dance party on the restaurant's patio. The event had been put on by On A Sunday Afternoon, a Chicano lifestyle and clothing brand that regularly organized dance events. The department published two pictures capturing three people. Officer Moroni Mendez, a department spokesperson, said homicide supervisors asked for the images of the people to be shared because they believed the people pictured possessed important information related to their case. Mendez said the people police were searching for were not suspects. Mendez asked anyone who recognized any of the people pictured to contact police by calling the department's nonemergency number at 623-930-3000. Calls can be made anonymously through Silent Witness at 480-948-6377. The department's May 7 appeal to the public wasn't its first. Glendale police spokesperson Jose Santiago previously encouraged anyone with information about the incident to anonymously upload any videos or photos they had of the incident to a web portal. Anyone with verbal tips could call the department's nonemergency number, Santiago said.

They were not suspects, police said, but may have important information. Persons of interest appear in videos posted to social media In video footage posted online, the woman police designated as the first person of interest can be seen pointing to a group of men and calling security over. As security arrives and separates her from the group of men, the person labeled as the second person of interest can be seen throwing an object, possibly a bottle, at the men she was pointing out. This confrontation drew the attention of the disc jockeys on stage, who stopped the music. The event organizer, Bobby Luera, can be heard on the video using a microphone on the stage to ask for calm, and then ending the event after the object is thrown. The man police labeled as the third person of interest appears on video talking to at least one of the men from the group the woman pointed out as security escorted him towards the exit. Videos posted to social media capturing the incident depict a chaotic scene with some people pushing and striking each other. One video shows a crowd chanting 'beat it' as security separates the participants of a fight and removes them from the area. Questions about Glendale shooting remain as days pass Glendale police's latest appeal came three days after the fatal shooting killed brothers Damien Anthony Sproule, 17, and Christopher Juaquin Sproule, 21, as well as Milo Christopher Suniga, 21. Stephanie Ortega and Regenea LaRoche Sproule, the mother and stepmother of Damien and Christopher, respectively, said the brothers were looking to meet people who were also interested in cars. 'They were out there trying to make friends from the lowrider community,' Sproule said. 'Because they had just gotten their own lowriders and they wanted to fix them up, so they needed to make friends.' Veronica Tarango, Suniga's cousin, the third person who died in the shooting, told The Arizona Republic at a community vigil on May 6 that he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, caught in the crossfire. Suniga wasn't a violent or confrontational person, she said. This article originally appeared on Arizona Republic: Glendale police want to talk to these people about mass shooting

At Least 3 Killed and 5 Injured in Shooting at Arizona Restaurant
At least three people were killed and five people were wounded in a shooting that erupted on Sunday at a restaurant in Arizona where a crowd of people was celebrating Cinco de Mayo, the police and a witness said. The police in Glendale, a suburb of Phoenix, responded at about 7:45 p.m. to calls saying that shots had been fired at the El Camaron Gigante Mariscos & Steakhouse, a spokesman for the Glendale Police Department, Officer Moroni Mendez, told local news stations in a briefing late on Sunday. Officers found a 'chaotic' scene in which multiple people had been shot, he said. Detectives were investigating but they believed there was more than one shooter. It was not immediately clear whether the shooting was an exchange of gunfire or if several people had acted together in firing on the crowd, Officer Mendez said. There were no arrests, although Officer Mendez said that the public was not in danger. Officer Mendez did not identify the victims or provide their ages. The injuries of those wounded were either caused by shrapnel or gunfire, he said. He could not immediately be reached early on Monday, and calls to the restaurant went unanswered. A witness told 12 News that dozens of people, including families with children, were at the restaurant for Cinco de Mayo, an annual celebration that commemorates Mexico's victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. The witness said there were several rounds of gunfire, and then a pause before a second set of shots was fired.
