Methy Hobo With Sawed-Off Shotgun Accused of Killing Armed Apartment Owner in Phoenix

An armed Phoenix man was shot and killed yesterday as he entered an apartment unit he owned after suspecting that someone might be inside.

Police found 31-year-old transient Bobby Hoover minutes later in front of Cortez High School, not even a half-mile away, walking down the street with his meth, a sawed-off shotgun, and two handguns — one of which was the dead man’s handgun, according to court documents obtained by New Times.

Steve Stair and his wife were servicing apartments they own near 35th Avenue and Dunlap around noon yesterday, when Stair’s wife noticed a light on inside one of the units and asked her husband to check it out.

Since the couple had problems with trespassers inside this apartment, Stair retrieved his handgun from his car and went inside the apartment.

There, he found Hoover, who was in the process of burglarizing the place. Hoover fired four shots from his own handgun, striking Stair twice, according to the documents. Stair died from his wounds at a hospital.

When Hoover was found minutes later, walking down Dunlap, he admitted to police that he had the handguns in his pockets. The gun Hoover allegedly shot Stair with was loaded and had the safety off. Stair’s gun, which was found in another one of Hoover’s pockets, was loaded, but the safety was on, according to police.
