STANFIELD, Ariz. (AP) - Three teenage boys have been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting in Stanfield last week, Pinal County Sheriff’s officials said Thursday.
They said the suspects - ages 14, 15 and 16 - are facing first-degree murder charges. The Associated Press is not identifying the three boys because they are juveniles.
Sheriff’s officials said deputies were called to a home just after midnight on Sept. 1 about a reported shooting in Stanfield, west of Casa Grande.
Deputies said they found 16-year-old Isaac Rosales suffering from a gunshot wound. He later died at a hospital.
Rosales had been in a confrontation in front of the home prior to the shooting, according to investigators.
Sheriff’s officials didn’t immediately disclose what led to the arrests of the three suspects.
