A second man has been arrested in connection with last week's shooting on the UA campus that injured another man, the school's police said Monday.
UAPD said Tuesday that Jahron David Francis, 29, turned himself in at the Pima County jail. He was arrested on suspicion of aggravated robbery.
On Monday, Christopher Eugene, 29, was arrested without incident at his residence, UAPD said in a news release. The Tucson police SWAT team assisted in the arrest.
He was booked into the Pima County jail on suspicion of two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of aggravated robbery, all felonies.
Police said one man was shot Wednesday night near the Keating/BIO5 building, in the 1600 block of East Helen St. The suspect and victim are not affiliated with the University of Arizona, campus police said.
Officers responded to a call of shots fired shortly after 7:30 p.m. near the corner of Helen and North Warren Avenue, department spokesman, Sgt. Filbert Barrera, said last week.
Police found shell casings and a small amount of blood, but were unable to locate a victim or suspects.
A hospital told police that at about 9 p.m., a 23-year-old man came in seeking treatment for a gunshot wound to his buttocks.
The victim told investigators he'd ridden the Sun Link streetcar to the Warren Avenue stop, and was approached by three males when he got off, Barrera said.
One of the men shot at the victim multiple times, striking him once in the buttocks, before the suspects fled in a dark colored SUV, Barrera said.
Detectives believe the victim and the suspects previously had an altercation off campus, and the victim was targeted in the shooting, Barrera said.
