APD’s Director of Communications told media there was an altercation at the Crowne Plaza Hotel across the street. The dispute happened between an employee of the hotel and another man at the hotel. The hotel employee used his personal vehicle to follow the man out of the hotel parking lot and both of them ended up at the Maverik gas station across the street.

“One of them fired shots at the other. The other one returned fire. So, basically there was a shootout between these two individuals. The employee from the hotel was struck and killed. He died at the scene here. The other person, who was maybe in his early 20s, male, was struck in the leg, transported to a local, transported to a local hospital,” said Gallegos.

The scene was quite massive going from the front of the the gas station to the back of the property near the truck stop. While on scene we observed at least 19 evidence markers indicating bullet casings and at least 6 projectile markers, which mean APD investigators found bullet rounds. There was a red Mercedes with heavy passenger side damage parked in front of the gas station. In the back of the property there was a dark colored SUV next to the dead hotel employee.

Gallegos did not indicate if the man wounded would be charged with the homicide.
