Scottsdale Police Arrest Friend for Deadly Shooting

On May 20, a shooting occurred on Miller Road near McDowell Road in south Scottsdale, resulting in the death of 46-year-old Michael Bradford. The suspect, 48-year-old Sean Quinn, who had been friends with Bradford for years and had no known issues with him, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder after refusing to leave his home during a standoff with police. Negotiators attempted to get Quinn to exit, but he stood in the doorway refusing commands, leading police to deploy a K9 that bit Quinn before he was taken into custody and treated for the bite. Police emphasized that the incident was isolated and posed no threat to the community. The shooting prompted a closure of Miller Road between McDowell Road and Oak Street, affecting local traffic. Investigations into the motive continue, though authorities have confirmed the longstanding friendship between the victim and suspect.
