In the early morning hours of June 8, Metro Dispatch received several 911 calls reporting a shooting at Bob Baskin Park.

Police and medical personnel were dispatched to the scene and found 18-year-old David Miramontes in a vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound to his head and 19-year-old Chris Luscombe in the parking lot suffering from a gunshot wound to his torso.

Miramontes died at the scene as a result of the shooting. Luscombe was transported to UMC Trauma in critical condition. He died two weeks later.

Homicide detectives were called to the scene and learned that the victims were with friends at the park when a dark colored compact car, possibly a Toyota Scion, drove by and an occupant fired several rounds at the crowd. The motive is unknown but may be related to various arguments and fights that happened at several graduation parties in the southwest area of the valley.

Police say the car they are looking for is described as a two door Toyota Scion with a lower body kit, custom wheels, a loud exhaust and having a dark “chameleon-like” custom paint job which appears to change colors from different viewing angles.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.
