TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Four suspects were arrested over the weekend and Tuesday as police continue their investigation into a deadly midtown house party shooting back in April, according to a Tucson Police Department press release.
Estevan Garcia, 18, was arrested near the area of South Midvale Park Road and West Drexel Road, says TPD, where he was taken into custody during a traffic stop Friday, June 14.
