A lawsuit over $20,000 worth of office furniture may be a factor in a deadly shooting in north-central Phoenix on Wednesday, according to court records.
Arthur Douglas Harmon is suspected of shooting three people outside the entrance of the three-story building at 7310 N. 16th St. Police say two of the victims — Mark Hummels, a partner with Osborn Maledon, and Steven Singer, president and CEO of Fusion Contact Centers — were the targets. Singer, 48, was killed. Hummels, 43, was taken off live support Thursday night.
The third victim, 32-year-old Nichole Hampton, was not seriously injured.
All three men had been in a morning mediation session at the law office of DeConcini McDonald Yetwin & Lacy, trying to resolve the case. Hummels was Singer’s attorney.
The financial dispute between Singer and Harmon, who operated a business called Redback Design since 1990, dated to February 2012.
In 2005, Harmon and his wife faced $219,000 in debts, most of it to banks and credit-card companies. The couple filed for bankruptcy, which proved to be “a fairly mundane case,” said Lothar Goernitz, a trustee who helped resolve the matter.
