Glendale, AZ — It was supposed to be a Snapchat organized drive-in party in an industrial part of Glendale, AZ long after the businesses closed for the week. But what started off as a great idea to meet up in cars and groups ended with one 17-year-old high school student being gunned down by police early Sunday morning. Levy Isaac Madueno Santibanez was shot after apparently ignoring police commands to disperse. Part of the incident was captured on video
Friends of the victim say he was holding his cell phone which police mistook for a gun. They claim he was running away from the police when the officer shot him in the back. Glendale PD claims the teen had a gun, had been firing into the crowd, and it was found on his person following the shooting.
Immediately following the officer-involved shooting which left Santibanez dead, Glendale PD deemed the party an “illegal party” and claimed there were multiple reports of shots being fired, although the teens say it was just their cars and mufflers backfiring. Multiple teenage witnesses claim Santibanez was unarmed and was no threat to responding officers.
Glendale police said they recovered a gun from Santibanez after he shot into the crowd at the party. However, witnesses dispute this story and if Santibanez was firing into a crowd, someone would have likely been struck, but they were not. What’s more, police have already changed their original version of events. Originally a department spokeswoman said Santibanez also shot at the Glendale officer, but then police changed their story and admitted that this never happened.
