Scottsdale 'party house' shootout suspect charged

An 18-year-old former high school athlete has been arrested for a shooting at a Scottsdale short-term rental. Prosecutors say bullets hit a nearby home, narrowly missing a sleeping infant inside. Fox 10's Steve Nielsen joins us live in studio with the details. Oh yeah, 18-year-old Matthew Simcox is charged with disorderly conduct, endangerment, and firearms charges. The shooting happened last month at a home near Scottsdale Road in McKellips. Simcox appearing in front of a judge yesterday. According to court records, a large group of people were gathered at the home which had reportedly been rented by Simcox's older brother. What I know is that a vehicle did come up on this Airbnb and it did fire rounds first. This was a party, it was chaotic. Multiple males had guns, quite a few of them actually did. He is Not a convicted felon, he is of age, he can have a firearm and that is self defense and acting in self defense for others. Investigators say ring camera video shows something different. Based upon my review that the ring camera for the Scottsdale address allegedly shows Mr. Simcox handling numerous firearms prior to the incident And then also further allegedly shows him discharging a weapon towards the street in the direction of the residents across the street. There was a infant asleep in the room in which one of the projectiles ended up lodged or struck the wall that was opposite where the baby was sleeping. Obviously a highly volatile and dangerous situation. No one was hurt in the Police say they were able to locate three firearms on the property, and they say two of them were registered to Simcox's brother and father. Now listen to this. Investigators say ballistics from the Scottsdale scene match evidence collected during a shooting in Mesa back on October 3rd. Now Simcox has not been charged in that case, but prosecutors pointed to it while asking the judge to set a higher bond, calling him a danger to the community. Simcox's bond was set at $250,000.
