SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - The Salt River Police Department has identified a Mesa man who was fatally shot at a gas station near Scottsdale.

They say 35-year-old Justin Gaston was pronounced dead at the scene of Sunday night’s shooting on the western edge of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.

Tribal police say officers located a vehicle they believed may be tied to the case.



When police attempted a traffic stop, the driver fled and crashed the vehicle following a short pursuit.

Police say two women have been booked into jail on unrelated charges, pending further investigation.

The names and ages of the women weren’t immediately released Monday.
