The incident unfolded around 1:30 a.m. on October 29, 2016, in the parking lot of The Break Room Bar and Grill located at 4729 East McDowell Road in Phoenix, Arizona. Wimbush was in a crowd of people when an unknown assailant, traveling westbound on McDowell Road, began firing shots from a vehicle.
