10-year-old girl dead, road rage shooter sought in Phoenix

Phoenix Police are asking to the public’s help in identifying a suspect in the shooting death of 10-year-old Summerbell Brown during an apparent road rage incident on Wednesday night.

Summerbell’s father was shot as well and is reportedly recovering from his injuries.

On Wednesday, April 3, 2019, at around 5:45 p.m., the family of four were driving northbound in the area of North 37th Avenue and West Portland Street when they noticed a white Ford F150 4-door pickup truck following them very closely. They turned west onto West Moreland Street, where they live, and the truck continued following them.

As they turned into the driveway of the residence, near 3800 West, the truck stopped behind the family car and the driver fired several gunshots at them. The father, as well as Summerbell, who was seated in the rear behind her father, were both struck by gunfire. The mother, seated in front and the other daughter, seated in the rear, were not injured. The suspect fled westbound on Moreland Street, then northbound on North 39th Avenue.

Anyone with information about this suspect or crime is asked to call Silent Witness at (480) W-I-T-N-E-S-S, or for Spanish (480) T-E-S-T-I-G-O. As always, callers may remain anonymous and could earn a reward of up to $1,000.
