Ashin Tricarico is charged with 1st-Degree Murder and endangerment. He was also charged with multiple counts of Aggravated Assault and Drive-by Shooting, authorities said. Police say detectives are still working to determine Tricarico's motive behind the shootings. According to Peoria police, the next update will be released Monday, June 21.

According to Peoria police, out of the 13 victims injured in the shooting incidents, 4 people were struck by a bullet. The 9 other victims were injured in the shooting incidents but not physically shot. One person, who was found shot in a drainage ditch along the Loop 101 and Thunderbird Road in Peoria, has been pronounced dead. They were later described as a 56-year-old man, but the department did not release their identity.

The first known shooting happened in the area of 103rd and Northern avenues around 11:10 a.m. when Peoria police were called to a shooting and found a person in a car that had been shot. That victim and a witness gave officers a description of the suspect vehicle and license plate. Officers began looking for a white Volkswagen Tiguan seen leaving the scene.

Over the span of 90 minutes on Thursday, police say Ashin Tricarico fired bullets at multiple people, seemingly at random.
Tricarico was taken into custody around 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, and police believe he acted alone.

He is facing charges of first-degree murder, aggravated assault, drive-by shooting, and endangerment. According to a video from his initial appearance in court, Tricarico has a juvenile criminal record.
In total, four people were shot, one fatally, and nine others suffered various injuries in at least eight separate drive-by shootings that happened in Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, and along the West Valley freeways.
The man who was shot and killed has been identified as 67-year-old David Liebler.

The victims who were not shot suffered other injuries, such as being struck by shrapnel from broken glass, according to Brandon Sheffert, public information officer for the Peoria Police Department, the agency leading the investigation.

Neighbors remember shooting spree victim as 'greatest guy in the world'​

PEORIA, AZ — Neighbors and friends are mourning the loss of David Liebler this week.
Peoria police identified the 67-year-old from Sun City as the lone person who passed away last Thursday, following a shooting spree that spanned the Northwest Valley, lasted nearly two hours, and injured 13 people, including children.
Liebler was found dead in his truck after police say he was shot in the neck by 19-year-oldAshin Tricarico. The father was just a mile and a half away from his Sun City home when he was shot.

"It’s super hard to even process how this could happen to a guy like that. In such a senseless, random act of violence," said Keith Howardton, who lived right next to Liebler for a few months of the year.
Liebler was a proud parent to a son, who also loved his mom.
"On Mother’s Day, he stopped and told us about his mom. He was so proud of her," said neighbor Laurie Anderson. "I saw his mom was here the other day [to collect things], so it was a sad day for her."

The tight community of Sun City is now in shock that a friendly, involved resident could be taken so senselessly.

The 19-year-old suspect told officers he believed he was being followed in connection to a shooting that he was involved in weeks earlier while working as a security guard.

"He was so close to home, of getting off the freeway and being here. He was just a nice kind man. Enjoyed golfing," said Anderson.
"He was just the greatest guy in the world. Never had an unkind word for anybody," said Howardton. "You can't ask for a better neighbor than that."
Liebler was known by neighbors for always waving and smiling on his way to his golf cart in the morning.
"It just blew us all away. You get used to seeing somebody all the time. Then boom just like that. It’s really sad," said Chris Venard, whose mother lives next door.

"We will miss him," said Anderson.
Relatives told ABC15 they were still too emotional to talk for this story, but neighbors wanted them to know what they thought of Dave.
"[Dave] would talk about his family. He had a son and had a niece who is getting married soon," said Howardton. "Dave was making a lot of really cool plans because COVID was over."
 
Ashin Tricarico is charged with 1st-Degree Murder and endangerment. He was also charged with multiple counts of Aggravated Assault and Drive-by Shooting, authorities said. Police say detectives are still working to determine Tricarico's motive behind the shootings.

BLACKS HATE WHITE PEOPLE AND BLACKS LIKE TO KILL. THAT IS THEIR MOTIVE, AND THAT ONLY.
