The shooting occurred at El Camaron Gigante, a steakhouse near Grand and Glendale Avenues, during a family-friendly Cinco de Mayo celebration around 7:45 p.m. on May 4, 2025. Glendale police believe multiple shooters were involved, with reports indicating possibly two suspects who are considered armed and dangerous. As of the latest reports, no arrests have been made, though several individuals have been detained for questioning. The scene was described as chaotic, with up to 20 shots fired initially, followed by additional gunfire.
The available information does not definitively confirm whether the suspects in the Glendale, AZ shooting at El Camaron Gigante on May 4, 2025, were patrons of the restaurant or individuals who arrived specifically to initiate the attack. Glendale police, as reported by multiple sources, have detained several people for questioning but have not clarified their status as patrons, suspects, victims, or witnesses. Police spokesperson Moroni Mendez noted that investigators are still determining the relationships between those involved, stating, "Whether they know each other, whether they’re related, whether they’re allies or opponents, we don’t know yet, and that’s what we’re trying to solve and figure out."
Some reports suggest the shooting occurred during a crowded Cinco de Mayo celebration, with dozens of people, including families and children, present, implying a public event setting where the shooters could have been among the attendees or entered from outside. A witness reported hearing over 20 shots initially, followed by a pause and then additional shots, which could indicate a planned or escalating incident, but this does not specify the shooters' prior presence in the restaurant.
No sources explicitly state whether the suspects were dining or otherwise engaged as patrons before the shooting or if they arrived with the intent to attack. The ongoing investigation, including review of surveillance footage and interviews, aims to clarify these details, but as of the latest reports, this remains unresolved.
