Two women
were driving in the area of Rio Salado Pkwy and Country Club in Mesa when the
occupants inside a sedan became enraged and began yelling at them. The driver
of the sedan, 27-year-old Andres Nunez, began swerving into the victims’ car,
nearly striking it. His 29-year-old brother Arturo Nunez was also in the car
along with a girlfriend.
When both
cars reached the intersection at Rio Salado and Country Club, a verbal fight
broke out and continued when Arturo and the women got out of their cars. The
women heard Arturo yell “west side” while showing the victims his hand in a shape
of a “W”. Arturo began hitting the hood of the victims’ car while continuing to
yell at them. One of the victims then hit Arturo’s car, prompting the
girlfriend and brother to get out.
Realizing
they were outnumbered, the woman driver yelled to her passenger to get back in
the car just as the passenger was pushed to the ground by Arturo. The driver
saw he was holding a gun so she jumps into the car and drives to a nearby
parking lot, striking Arturo while attempting to flee. Andres then opens fire, hitting
the driver three times – twice in the leg and once in the shoulder -- out of about
12 shots fired. She has non-life threatening injuries.
Mesa Police
Officers arrived just as the shooting stopped. Arturo yelled “west side” and “Phoeniquera”
at officers as they were giving commands. Arturo did not obey officers’ commands
so several bean bag rounds were deployed. He eventually was arrested along with
Andres.
