A clash between two unrelated vehicles led to the 27-year-old's tragic death.

Glendale Police Sgt. Brian Hoskins questioned the suspect’s actions, saying it was unclear why he would fire in another direction without realizing there was a car beside him. In a statement reported by Arizona's Family, he said:

"As gun owners, you have to know where you’re shooting, what you’re pointing at. You know, those are the responsibilities of being a responsible gun owner. You can’t just fire rounds randomly throughout. Specifically, a high, highly populated city"

Police are continuing to investigate the case to gather more details.
