PHOENIX (AP) - A man has pleaded guilty to fatally shooting his wife on a Mesa street last year along with a Good Samaritan who stopped to help the woman.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 39-year-old Christopher Glen Wright pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder.
He’s scheduled to be sentenced on April 28.
Nasbah Laverne Wriqht called Mesa police during a May 31 dispute with her husband near a freeway interchange.
Christopher Wright told police he had been fighting with his 41-year-old wife and decided to crash the SUV in an attempt to kill her.
After the crash, Nasbah Wright ran to a parked pickup truck and asked driver Tomas Olivas Orneals for help.
Police say Christopher Wright walked up to the truck and fatally shot his wife and the 49-year-old Orneals.
