“During that transaction, some sort of altercation occurred that led to the shooting,” Barela said.
The incident occurred around 1:30 p.m. at the Arizona Mills off Interstate 10 between Warner and Elliot roads, police said.
Williams and the minor suspect were detained following a traffic stop in Maricopa, according to police.
The suspects were also charged with aggravated robbery.
