Man killed one, shot at two others in alleged violent drug deal gone bad in Glendale

Glendale police reported that an incident, described as a drug deal gone wrong on February 17, resulted in the death of one man and shots fired at residents of an apartment complex.

Andrew Enriquez, aged 22, was arrested by police Thursday following a shooting that occurred Saturday afternoon.

The shooting near 67th and Glendale avenues left 31-year-old Michael Leroy Johnson dead, according to Glendale police spokesperson, Moroni Mendez.

Police initially received a call from a man stating his brother had been shot and the suspect fled the scene.

The court documents said at least one other person inside the complex heard the gunshots and reported it police.

Police, who arrived at around 2:24 p.m., found Johnson suffering from a gunshot wound and transported him to the hospital where he later died.

Police at the scene located 25-year-old Breshon Latrail Lattimore, the brother of Johnson, who performed CPR on the victim before emergency responders arrived.

An eyewitness near the crime scene and security camera footage depicted Enriquez traveling to a nearby QuikTrip via bus, as well as the subsequent interaction between him, Johnson, and Lattimore before the shooting occurred.
