It happened around 2:40 p.m. in the 1200 block of Sanford Street. APD said officers responded to a parking lot in the area after receiving reports of shots being fired.
According to the police, there was a heated argument between the occupants of two different vehicles. The argument may have started because one of the cars tried to reverse out of a parking space but couldn't do so as the other vehicle was blocking its way.
Multiple people then got out of both vehicles and started brawling. During the fight, Phonthalangsy allegedly pulled out a gun and fired into the air.
