Mesa police have arrested a 29-year-old man and charged him with second-degree murder in the death of a man who was found shot Monday in a vehicle parked in the 1200 block of West Evergreen.
Tyler McGuire is the suspect in the death of 22-year-old Deazo Seghi, police said Tuesday.
Officers were sent to the shooting location at 1:20 p.m. Dec. 11 and found Seghi sitting in the driver’s seat with multiple gunshot wounds, according to a release. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.
A description of the possible suspect from eyewitnees was broadcast to responding officers, police said. They found a man matching the description a short distance away and stopped him. He had a gun and cellphone, police said.
McGuire “immediately invoked his right to an attorney, so he was not questioned,” the release stated.
Detectives found shell casings at the scene, and ammo in a backpack that was dropped as the suspect ran away, authorities said.
“The casings and ammo appeared to be the same. The ammo from the gun that was in (McGuire’s) possession also appeared to match,” the release stated.
The Mesa Police Department’s forensics lab had a firearms specialist test fire the handgun and compare the casings from the gun and the casings found at the scene, and the casings were a match, according to officials.
