The Tucson Police Department made an arrest from a January shooting that left one man dead and two others seriously injured, including the suspect.
The suspect, 34-year-old William Palmer, was arrested without incident at a hotel in Tucson on Thursday and charged with first-degree murder, first-degree burglary and misconduct involving weapons.
Christopher Gentry, 37, was pronounced dead after the shooting inside a midtown apartment complex at 5171 E. 29th St., said Sgt. Pete Dugan, a Tucson Police Department spokesman on Jan. 8.
Police were dispatched to the complex on East 29th Street after multiple 911 reports of gunshots in the area. Officers found Gentry in an apartment with gunshot wounds. Officers administered first aid until Tucson Fire Department paramedics arrived and took over, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, said Dugan.
Meanwhile as more officers were responding to the scene, a second man with gunshot wounds was found on the ground at an apartment complex west of the East 29th Street location, said Dugan. More 911 callers reported a third man, later identified as Palmer, with gunshot wounds at another complex east of the 29th Street location.
Palmer and the second male were transported to a hospital with serious injuries. They both were released after their recovery.
The shootings were not a random act of violence, the department said, as detectives learned the men were involved in a separate incident earlier on the day of the shootings.
