What we know about Glendale mass shooting victims
Glendale police say two of the deceased victims were brothers, ages 17 and 29.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — A devastating shooting unfolded just before 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, 2025, leaving three people dead and five others injured in what police are calling a targeted incident involving multiple shooters.
The violence erupted in the parking lot of El Camaron Gigante, a restaurant located directly across the street from the Glendale Police Department headquarters, during a large public event.
Authorities say the entire incident took just three minutes — a brief but deadly span of time that changed multiple lives before officers arrived on scene.
According to Glendale Police, approximately 200 to 300 people were in attendance at the restaurant, where a concert and car show were being held.
Families and community members had gathered for the evening’s festivities when a physical altercation broke out near the stage between two groups.
Security personnel reportedly instructed those involved in the altercation to leave the venue.
Once outside in the parking lot, the situation escalated rapidly into gunfire, with multiple individuals reportedly exchanging shots.
Investigators are currently processing the crime scene and collecting shell casings to determine the total number of weapons fired and shooters involved.
Though the names of the deceased have not yet been released pending family notifications, police have provided the following details:
- A 17-year-old boy,
- A 21-year-old man, and
- A 29-year-old man were all pronounced dead at the scene or shortly after.
Authorities confirmed that the 17-year-old and the 29-year-old were brothers.
The five individuals wounded in the shooting include:
- A 20-year-old woman
- A 20-year-old man
- A 21-year-old woman
- A 23-year-old man
- A 16-year-old boy, who underwent emergency surgery overnight and is expected to survive.
All of the injured victims were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.
No suspects have been taken into custody as of Sunday morning, and no descriptions have been released.
Police emphasize that the incident appears to have stemmed from a personal dispute between known parties and is not believed to pose an ongoing threat to the general public.
The scene remains active, with the entire block cordoned off by crime scene tape. Detectives, forensic teams, and officers continue to process evidence near the restaurant.
Glendale Police are urging any witnesses or individuals with video footage or information to come forward. Tips can be submitted through the department’s non-emergency line at 623-930-3000.

Who was Jesse Strang? Tumbler Ridge Secondary School Shooting Suspect Identified as Transgender Student
Authorities are continuing to investigate the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, that left at least 10 people dead, including multiple victims at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and two individuals at a separate residence connected to the case.
While the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have not formally released the suspect’s identity, the alleged shooter has been identified by a close family member as 17-year-old Jesse Strang, a student at the school.
The outlet stated it spoke with Russell G. Strang, identified as the suspect’s uncle, who claimed that Jesse was responsible for the attack and described the teen as transgender.
Law enforcement has not publicly confirmed these details, and investigators have urged the public to rely on verified information as the case remains active.
According to RCMP, gunfire was first reported at approximately 1:20 p.m. at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School.
Responding officers discovered six victims deceased inside the building, while a seventh victim later died while being transported to a hospital.
Two additional victims were airlifted to regional medical facilities with serious or life-threatening injuries, and roughly 25 others were evaluated for injuries believed to be non-life-threatening.
During the investigation, officers identified what they described as a “secondary location believed to be connected to the incident.” At that residence, police located two additional victims who were pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspected gunman is also deceased, reportedly from what investigators believe to be a self-inflicted injury.
“Officers are conducting further searches of additional homes and properties to determine whether anyone else may be injured or otherwise linked to today’s events,” the RCMP said in a statement.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed profound sorrow following the tragedy.
“I am devastated by this shooting. I join Canadians in grieving with those whose lives have been changed irreversibly today, and in gratitude for the courage and selflessness of the first responders who risked their lives to protect their fellow citizens,” Carney said.
Tumbler Ridge, a remote community of approximately 2,400 residents in the Northern Rockies region of northeastern British Columbia, is now grappling with the aftermath of one of the deadliest acts of violence in its history.
Crisis support resources and emergency personnel have been mobilized to assist victims, families, and residents affected by the tragedy.
In the wake of the shooting, strong opinions and commentary have circulated online regarding the suspect’s identity, gender, and possible motives.
Authorities have not established a motive, nor have they confirmed personal details about the suspect. Officials caution against spreading speculation or attributing the attack to any ideology or group without verified evidence.
The investigation remains active as law enforcement works to confirm the suspect’s identity, reconstruct the timeline of events, and determine what factors led to the violence.
Additional updates are expected as authorities continue to gather and verify information.
Officials are urging anyone with relevant information to contact law enforcement and encouraging the public to respect the privacy of the victims’ families during this time of profound loss.
