Phoenix Police said they responded after shots were fired in a single-family home in North East Phoenix.
It happened around 4 p.m.
When they arrived they found one person dead in the driveway of the house, according to Public Information Officer Trent Crump.
Police say a woman, believed to be the suspect’s wife or former wife, was found burned in the yard of the house.
