On Wednesday, Phoenix Police officers responded just before 4 a.m. to a report of a man deceased inside of a vehicle in a drainage ditch.
When officers arrived on the scene, they found 18-year-old Jayden Carnow-Garcia, dead from gunshot wounds, inside of a vehicle that had been struck by bullets.
According to FOX10, court records show that Carnow-Garcia “was recently arrested by Federal agents, and was accused of committing criminal offenses related to human smuggling. He had entered into a plea deal, and was awaiting his sentencing hearing when he was killed.”
At this time, no suspects are in custody and detectives are investigating what led up to this incident.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Phoenix Police Department at 602-262-6151 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS (480-TESTIGO for Spanish speakers) if they wish to remain anonymous.
