Westgate Violence Rises Again | Mesa News

Westgate Entertainment District is reeling after a July 4 shooting left four injured, including an eight-year-old, following a verbal argument that turned deadly — and it’s not the first time violence has struck the area. In January 2020, a parking dispute ended in a fatal shooting with the suspect still at large. In May 2020, a 20-year-old opened fire to “gain respect” after feeling bullied, wounding three. Just months later, two men were shot after one was hit by a car. Despite existing security measures and close police collaboration, including an on-site entertainment squad, officials say they’re determined to prevent future tragedies as the latest investigation continues.
