GLENDALE, Ariz. — Glendale Police have confirmed that three individuals were killed and five others injured following a mass shooting that took place Sunday evening, May 4, at a busy restaurant near 57th and Glendale Avenues.
The shooting occurred around 7:45 p.m. at El Camaron Gigante Mariscos & Steakhouse, prompting a massive emergency response and a rapidly unfolding investigation.
Police described the incident as “chaotic,” with gunfire erupting in a crowded area.
During a briefing, Glendale Police Officer Moroni Mendez stated, “What I can confirm is that there are multiple people shot.
The number is closer to nine now.” Authorities are continuing to assess the total number of victims as the investigation progresses.

Authorities are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred early Saturday morning during a domestic altercation at an apartment on Mel Smith Road, located in an unincorporated area outside New Albany.
The Floyd County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) received the initial emergency call at approximately 5:39 a.m. on November 15, 2025, reporting a disturbance involving family members.
While officers were en route, additional information indicated that shots had been fired inside the residence.
Upon arrival, deputies encountered a domestic situation involving a mother and her two adult sons.
Officers immediately secured the scene and began administering medical aid to one of the men who had sustained gunshot wounds.
The second male remained at the location and cooperated fully with responding officers.
The injured individual was transported to a nearby hospital; however, he later died as a result of his injuries.
Detectives with the Floyd County Criminal Investigations Division (CID) have taken over the case and processed the scene for evidence.
