The 19-year-old arrested for a drive-by shooting spree that killed one and injured 12 in the northwest Valley Thursday, June 17, shot at another stranger from his car the evening before, according to police.
According to a report from Peoria police, less than 18 hours before the June 17 shooting spree started, that suspect, Ashin Tricarico of Surprise, sat in his parked car at a Peoria gas station and pointed a gun at a stranger parked near him. Moments later, when both men had driven out of the gas station, Tricarico is believed to have shot at the man while driving. Neither the victim, whose identity has not been released, or his vehicle were hit.
