OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 07/12/2022, a Maricopa County constable went to an apartment complex near 46th Street and Thomas Road to serve court documents connected to an eviction. Shots were fired during the encounter and a resident, later identified as 33 year old Marcus Mungeam, died inside the residence. Early reporting said investigators did not confirm how he died and did not release his name. Later reporting tied the death to an eviction attempt and identified the involved constables as Doug Clark and deputy constable Steven Perkins, with the family asserting in a notice of claim that the constables should not have entered the apartment and that medical records showed Mungeam was shot by the constables. In 2024, Mungeam’s parents publicly announced plans to sue Maricopa County and the constables over the killing and described him as thoughtful and kind.
