PHOENIX (AP) - Police have arrested an illegal immigrant wanted in connection with a fatal shooting last weekend in Mesa.
Christian Garcia, 26, was taken into custody Wednesday in Tucson as he was preparing to leave for Mexico, authorities said.
Once transported to Mesa, police said Garcia admitted to shooting a .9mm-caliber and .40-caliber handgun at a pickup carrying Christian Gonzalez early Sunday.
Gonzalez was killed and two other people in the vehicle were injured, police said.
Garcia was booked on suspicion of first-degree murder and four counts of aggravated assault.
Investigators believe the shooting is related to an altercation that occurred at a club in Mesa early Sunday.
