The suspect made veil threats to intended victims as he faced foreclosure, according to police.
A man stands accused of trying to murder a homeowner when he instead shot someone who appeared for a Saturday afternoon appointment at a Scottsdale home.
It was thought by police that the victim had four or five wounds to his head, arm and ear area, and had to be resuscitated multiple times after the shooting, according to court documents. Video surveillance captured the shooting, showing the suspect fire eight rounds into a Mazda that the victim was in at the home northeast of Alma School Road and Happy Valley Road, according to charging documents. The shooter then fled, according to court documents.
The investigation found the homeowners manage a business dealing with mortgages and foreclosures and have received threats as a result, Bolin said. Police found Gruchala matched the suspect's description after reviewing a recent list of people who in the last six months had their homes foreclosed by the business and had made veiled threats, Bolin said.
Detectives doing surveillance on the suspect saw Gruchala hide a handgun in a desert wash of a Scottsdale home. The gun's caliber matched that used in the shooting, according to police. The weapon, described as a 9mm handgun in court documents, was found with the dog team, Bolin said.
