Reports circulating online claim that Joanna Royalty Sinclair is currently in police custody following a shooting involving Qahsiem near 32nd Street and Broadway Road in Phoenix, Arizona. Authorities have not publicly confirmed the identities of those involved.
Phoenix police confirmed that a toddler was shot during the incident and was rushed to a hospital with what appeared to be gunshot wounds. The child’s age has not been released, but officials said the injuries were considered serious.
Officers were called to the area just before 12 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a report of “unknown trouble.” Upon arrival, police located the injured toddler and began life-saving efforts before the child was transported for medical treatment.
Police said the suspect or suspects left the scene before officers arrived and have not been officially identified. No arrests have been publicly announced by Phoenix police as of the latest update.
Initial information suggested the shooting may have stemmed from a domestic violence-related incident, but authorities later clarified that this assessment may no longer be accurate as the investigation continues.
While online posts have named Joanna Royalty Sinclair and referenced Qahsiem in connection with the shooting, law enforcement officials have not confirmed those details or released further information regarding custody status or charges.
The investigation remains ongoing, and police have not provided additional updates about what led to the shooting or the condition of the toddler.
Anyone with information related to the incident is urged to contact Phoenix police.
