A 14-year-old boy was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of fatally shooting his father in Glendale.

Just before 4 p.m., officers went to a home near 66th Avenue and Delmonico Lane. The victim, identified as Joshua Lee Goldman, 39, was found inside suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

The man was rushed to hospital where he died.

As the suspect is a minor, his name has not been released by police.

According to court documents, Goldman was found with a handgun in the holster located in the front of the waistband of his pants, but there is no indication it was ever removed during the incident.

Goldman's daughter, who was home when the incident occurred and helped her father, told police she was verbally arguing with Goldman when the suspect intervened and shot her. She was on the other side of a closed door and did not see the shooting, according to court documents.

Goldman's father was also in the house at the time of the shooting, but did not witness it, authorities said.

The suspect then fled the scene on foot with a friend after the shooting, according to court documents. Footage from a Ring doorbell camera revealed that the suspect and his friend escaped in Goldman's Toyota Camry after the incident.

Detectives were able to track down the Camry, which was headed to Las Vegas, documents state. Arizona Department of Public Safety deputies intercepted the vehicle near Kingman around 7 p.m. Tuesday evening and used a grappling hook to stop the vehicle despite the Camry crashing during the pursuit, documents state.

Police said the suspect was driving at a speed of 130 mph before the traffic stop.

Upon arrest, the suspect was found with a holster on his belt and a magazine in the holster. A search warrant of the Camry later revealed a loaded Glock-style 9mm handgun on the passenger floorboard of the car.
