Phoenix police are investigating whether an early-morning shooting at
a Phoenix Mexican restaurant was motivated by the sexual orientation of
the victims.
At about 3 a.m. Monday, police said there was an
argument between two groups of people inside the Julioberto's Mexican
restaurant located near 32nd Street and McDowell Road. The
argument spilled into the street as two women got into a physical fight,
police said.

Police say the gunman threatened the group before driving away with
several other people in a grey sedan. Moments later, the group returned
and shots were fired from the car into the restaurant. A bullet struck
a woman in the hand.
“We do have information that this was a
possibility a bias incident, that it involved name calling and things of
that nature. And so certainly we’re going to investigate it with the
information we have as a possibility,” said Phoenix Police Officer James
Holmes.
