The shooting comes as a 12-year-old boy was nearly shot outside a New York City barbershop on Tuesday. Police believe the gunman was targeting the boy, according to CBS New York.
On Tuesday, Michael David Hart, 23, and Rafael Santos, 21, were arrested in connection with the Arizona shooting, police said.
The shooting started when Hart, Santos and an unidentified man got into an argument with a tattoo artist in Damaged Ink Tattoo -- next door to the barbershop -- the day earlier.
The tattoo artist asked Hart to leave the parlor and come back at a later time, according to police.
The three men left the shop and got into their vehicle, but stopped in front of the parlor where Hart allegedly fired his gun, striking the barbershop, police said.
Hart was immediately identified by the parlor because of his distinct neck tattoo, Fox 10 reported.
The two men were arrested and face aggravated assault and endangerment charges.
