On the night of June 26, 2026, Phoenix police officers responded to a house near 35th Avenue and Greenway Road, listed as 3500 W Greenway Road, for a domestic disturbance.

A 911 caller reported people fighting inside the home and said her brother had a knife and had tried to stab her mother's boyfriend.

When officers arrived, they approached the front of the house and spoke with a woman. While they were there, the suspect ran out of the front of the home holding a knife and chased another man who had been standing in the driveway.
