Maricopa police records released today shed new light on the Feb. 10 gunfire arrest in the Homestead neighborhood, including the suspect’s admission to firing all 11 rounds from a handgun and a timeline that differs from initial accounts.

According to the probable cause statement, officers were dispatched around 12:30 a.m. Feb. 10 to the area of Porter Road and Homestead Drive after reports of gunshots. Investigators located 11 spent 9mm shell casings scattered along Homestead Drive.

While officers were processing the scene, police received a separate call about a suspicious vehicle with a lone male parked about a block away on Ganley Way. The caller reported seeing the man exit and return to the vehicle around the same time the gunfire was reported.

Officers contacted the driver, later identified as Luis Antonio Valenzuela, 36, inside a rental Kia bearing Connecticut plates. Police said a black handgun was visible on the back seat with the slide locked to the rear and the magazine empty.

Valenzuela initially told officers he fired two rounds after becoming frustrated during an argument with his wife earlier that day, the report states. During a post-Miranda interview, however, he admitted to firing all 11 rounds recovered at the scene.

Police said the firearm’s condition and its proximity to the shell casings served as direct physical evidence linking Valenzuela to the gunfire — “effectively the ‘smoking gun’ in this investigation,” officers wrote in the police narrative.

Valenzuela was transported to a hospital before booking. Details of any injuries were not included in the report.

He was later booked into the Pinal County jail on one count of unlawful discharge of a firearm within city limits under Arizona’s Shannon’s Law and one count of disorderly conduct with a weapon.

The case remains pending in Pinal County Superior Court, where dockets say his next hearing is slated for March 17.
