Juan Browne at the Blanco Lirio channel did an initial analysis. The Learjet L35 is an older aircraft (this one was manufactured in 1989) that is increasingly difficult to maintain. The left main landing gear on the incident aircraft had previously experienced a failure. Mapping of ADS-B data shows the rate of descent on the visual approach was significantly higher than normal. Pilot got too high on approach and made a big correction close in. Possibly a hard landing that broke off the gear at its attachment point to the aircraft.

Approach to Scottsdale airport is pretty easy.
A bit surprised he had to push the landing.
