Old Town Scottsdale markets itself as a premier desert destination: upscale dining, luxury resorts, high-end retail. So a 2 a.m. gunfight spilling across two locations, resulting in five arrests and an officer-involved shooting, is not exactly the brand.
On the morning of May 7, Scottsdale police responded to multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired at a Circle K near Camelback Road and Miller Road. Officers found evidence that multiple rounds had been fired, many of which struck the building. About 30 minutes into the investigation, more gunfire erupted near the Maya Condominium complex east of the Circle K. One suspect, 20-year-old Christian Santiago Grant, was found hiding inside a clothes dryer at a nearby home on Miller Road. By May 9, five men had been booked on felony charges including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, misconduct involving weapons, and resisting arrest.
