PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Police announced late Wednesday that four people, including a minor have been arrested in connection to a teen who was shot to death in south Phoenix last month.
According to Phoenix Police, detectives arrested 18-year-old Dareon Harris and a teenager on Dec. 14. Four days later, officers arrested Leonard Brown, 19, days later after investigators linked all of the suspects to the teen’s murder. A fourth suspect, identified as 18-year-old Takari Humphrey was arrested on Wednesday.

On Nov. 28, just before 9 p.m., Phoenix police officers were called to an apartment complex near 7th Avenue and Alta Vista Road, just south of Southern Avenue. 911 callers reported an injured person was in front of a unit and that gunfire was heard in the complex. Officers arrived at the complex’s parking lot and found 17-year-old Marc Leyva on the ground next to a car with bullet holes, arresting documents say. Leyva was rushed to the hospital but later died.

Investigators learned that Leyva borrowed his mother’s car and drove with his friend to pick up two more people to go to a liquor store. Returning from the store, as the group was getting out of Leyva’s car, Brown and a second suspect, walked up to the group, asking about Leyva’s friends’ shoes and asking what he would do “if someone pointed a gun at him,” court documents said.
In court paperwork, detectives say that both of those suspects admitted to having guns with them and planned to rob Leyva when he arrived at the apartment complex. Police also confirmed the four suspects all knew each other.

The mother of Marc Leyva, 17, who was killed in a shooting in south Phoenix on Nov. 28., is seeking justice for her son.

His mother, Rosario Canales, said her son loved to play with his friends and family whenever he could. On the night of the shooting, he was visiting his friend's apartment.

“He was a good son and a good brother. He enjoyed joking around and having fun, playing with his cousins. … We all miss him a lot,” Canales said.

Canales doesn’t want what happened to her son to happen to another child.

Phoenix police arrived around 9 p.m. at an apartment complex located on Seventh Avenue and Alta Vista Road, where they found Leyva suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Leyva was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

4 teens killed in 4 days: Guns are leading cause of death among kids 15-17 in Arizona, report says
Last month, the Arizona Department of Health Services released its Child Fatality Report. The data from 2022 revealed a slight increase compared to the previous year, with the number of children killed by firearm injuries rising from 56 to 59.

Firearm injuries are the leading cause of death for teens ages 15 to 17. GANG BANGERS

“My son didn’t deserve this. He was murdered, shot multiple times and just left to die. I want justice for him and have the people that did it to him locked up,” said Canales. “Regarding guns, we want to stop having kids dying so young.”

Leyva's funeral services were scheduled for Wednesday. To assist Canales, a single working mom, with covering the costs, Leyva's godmother started a GoFundMe.

“Nobody expects to have to bury their children. It wasn’t something she was financially prepared for,” said Maria Reyes, Leyva’s godmother. “My goal is to take the load off because she’s a grieving mother and to give (Leyva) a proper burial. We want to give him what he deserves, as a tribute."

Phoenix police were still investigating the case and no arrests had been made.
