Teen Accused in Phoenix Gun Crime | Phoenix News

A 19-year-old in Phoenix, Micheal Soto, is accused of a terrifying spree: using a woman’s phone to track her boyfriend, then gunning down a street with a rifle and pistol-whipping victims—all allegedly after drugging the woman. Caught thanks to surveillance and a cooperating witness, Gladis Ayala, Soto faces multiple felonies including aggravated assault and illegal firearm discharge, while Ayala awaits trial in December. Despite admitting to drug use, Soto denies firing shots. This chilling case exposes how tech can be weaponized—and justice is just beginning to catch up.
