Two men have been arrested, according to police, in connection with a deadly shooting in Phoenix that police have linked to gang rivalry.
Investigators said 20-year-old Makhyi Raykel Hinkle was arrested on July 21 at a home near the area of 79th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road.
According to the documents, dashcam video taken at the time shows a white Kia Optima driving past the driver side of the victim vehicle, and numerous gunshots can be seen in rapid succession from the rear passenger area of the Optima. The person who died in the shooting, according to police, was seated in the rear center seat at the time of the shooting, while a second victim was seated in the rear driver-side seat. That person is reportedly still in the hospital, in stable condition.
During the course of the investigation, officials said Hinkle was identified by an anonymous source who was familiar with the communication that circulates between two gangs: the Southern Crips and Park South Crips.
