On a Thanksgiving evening in Tempe, Arizona, a burst of gunfire shattered the holiday peace at an apartment complex near Washington Street and Priest Drive. When police arrived around 9 p.m. on Thursday, November 28, 2024, they discovered a grim scene. Twenty-four-year-old Anthony Carlos, a male, was found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene. A woman who was also shot was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
Investigators found as many as 30 bullet casings at the location, indicating the intensity of the violence that had unfolded.
The investigation into the shooting was swift and intensive. Over the weekend, Tempe police interviewed more than 30 people as they worked to piece together the events that led to the deadly encounter. Their efforts quickly led them to identify and apprehend three suspects. Miguel Rosas Galvan, Dennis Manuel Guillen, and Oscar Manuel Guillen were arrested in connection with the shooting. Authorities have indicated that the individuals involved were acquainted with one another and that the incident was not related to domestic violence.
Following their arrests, the three men faced serious charges, including conspiracy, first-degree murder, and aggravated assault.
