On May 15,
2022, just after midnight, Mesa Police Officers were dispatched to the area of
400 South Stewart for reports of gunshots. When officers arrived, they located
approximately 98 spent rounds scattered on south Stewart to west Vine Ave
(approximately ¼ mile.) Of the 98 spent rounds, officers discovered several
different types: 9mm, .40 caliber, and .223/ 5.56 assault rifle casings.
Officers
located a victim, who had been hosting a party on Stewart, and learned that
21-year-old Jorge de Jesus Rubio had tried to attend the party but was denied
access due to his behavior at a prior party held in March. The victim told
officers that Jorge was armed with a handgun and that another man with him had
an assault rifle. After being told to leave, Jorge and the other subjects
walked back to their vehicle.
A witness told
officers they watched gunfire come from the vehicle as it drove away south on
Stewart and then west on Vine Ave.
The victim
later found two bullet holes on their house and one on a family member’s
vehicle. At the time of the shooting, the house was occupied by several people,
to include children.
On May 24,
2022, Phoenix Police Officers stopped Jorge after reports of him entering an
intersection and doing “donuts” with his vehicle. During their investigation,
officers located an empty gun case, a loaded black handgun, and an unknown
amount of ammunition. The vehicle was towed.
On May 25,
2022, Mesa Police Officers wrote and served a search warrant for access to
Jorge’s vehicle. Two boxes of different brands of 9mm ammunition, a 22 round
magazine containing two .40 caliber rounds, loose 9mm ammunition, and an empty
Glock gun box were seized.
On June 8,
2022, Jorge was arrested. He was booked into jail for the following charges and
held on a $250,000 bond:
