*** Investigation Update ***
Surprise Police Detectives have identified and charged an additional juvenile in connection with this incident. Due to the individual's age, we are unable to release identifying information.

This remains a very active and ongoing investigation. Detectives are working diligently to identify everyone involved and ensure all appropriate charges are pursued.

These steps are critical to ensure a thorough investigation and identify all individuals involved.

We appreciate the community's patience as this work continues.

*** Investigation Update ***
Surprise Police detectives have identified and charged two juveniles in connection with this incident. Due to the individuals' ages, we are unable to release identifying information.

*** Previously released information ***
Surprise Police are investigating an assault that occurred on April 4, 2026, at a large, unsupervised gathering near N. Sarival Ave. and W. Greenway Rd. The event was shared on social media, drawing a crowd that included many individuals unknown to the host. During the gathering, a teen was assaulted by multiple individuals. The investigation is active and ongoing.
Safety Reminder for Parents & Teens:
Talk to your teens about where they’re going, who they’ll be with, and whether adults will be present. Social media can quickly turn a small get-together into a large, uncontrolled gathering. Encourage your teens to leave immediately if a situation feels unsafe or begins to escalate. Knowing your child’s plans and maintaining open communication, even a quick check-in, can help prevent a dangerous situation.
Together, we can help keep our community safe.

🚦☀️ Service Above Self ☀️🚦

When a damaged traffic signal created challenges along Bell Road and Parkview Place yesterday, our community's heroes stepped up.

In 103-degree Arizona heat, our dedicated Citizens Patrol volunteers spent hours directing traffic, keeping motorists safe and traffic moving with professionalism, patience, and a smile. Their commitment to serving others is nothing short of inspiring.

When asked if they needed anything after standing in the blazing sun for hours, they didn't ask for relief, water, or food. Instead, they asked that we recognize the outstanding work of our City's Transportation Department, whose crews worked alongside them to assist with traffic control and repair the damaged traffic signal.

Time and again, our Citizens Patrol members and Transportation employees work side by side to keep our city safe, support public safety operations, and allow officers to remain available for calls for service. This is what TEAM looks like

A heartfelt thank you to Citizens Patrol members P. Maresh, M. Miller, K. Stevens, A. Knies, W. Gebhart, and B. Aten, along with our hard-working Transportation Department employees. Your dedication, selflessness, and commitment to our community do not go unnoticed.

👏 Please join us in thanking these incredible volunteers and employees for stepping up when our city needed them most.
