An altercation between people in two vehicles late Monday escalated when a passenger in one opened fire at a Glendale intersection, fatally hitting the driver of the other car, authorities said.

Glendale police say that Jermaine Turner, 19, was shot several times as his Chevrolet and a SUV came to a stop at a red light at 67th and Olive avenues about 11 p.m.

Turner was taken to a north Phoenix hospital where he was pronounced dead, said Officer Michael Peña, a Glendale police spokesman.

 

Passengers in Turner's vehicle told authorities that shots were fired after an altercation with three to four men in a dark-colored Suburan or Tahoe-like SUV, Peña said.

The SUV then ran the red traffic signal and continued north on 67th, he added.

To offer information about the homicide, phone Glendale police at (623) 930-3399.
