Four People Reportedly Shot in Mesa; Person of Interest Detained

Three men and one woman were reportedly wounded near 1935 N. Center St. Authorities have not released their conditions or identified the detained individual.

A major police response unfolded Tuesday evening after four people were reportedly shot near 1935 N. Center St. in Mesa, Arizona.

According to preliminary information shared through the Citizen app, the victims are three men and one woman. Their conditions were not immediately available.

A person of interest was reportedly detained as officers investigated the shooting. Authorities have not identified that individual, announced any criminal charges, or disclosed what connection the person may have to the incident.

Being detained as a person of interest does not necessarily mean someone has been arrested or accused of committing a crime.

Citizen initially published its alert at 6:57 p.m. on September 22 and updated it at 7:06 p.m. Multiple videos submitted from the area appeared to document the emergency response, but the available alert did not provide information about what led to the shooting.

No potential motive, sequence of events, or relationship among the victims had been publicly confirmed at the time of publication. It was also unclear whether investigators were searching for additional people.

Habari Entertainment has not independently verified the number of victims or the reported detention through an official police statement. The details remain preliminary and may change as investigators release additional information.

Anyone with information about the shooting should contact law enforcement. Emergencies should be reported by calling 911. The Mesa Police Department lists its non-emergency number as 480-644-2211, option 2. (City of Mesa)

This is a developing story. Habari Entertainment will update this report when authorities provide additional confirmed details.
