Police have identified the suspect they say is solely responsible for killing one person and injuring 12 others Thursday during a shooting spree scattered across eight separate locations in the northwest Valley.
Police said Ashin Tricarico, 19, of Surprise acted alone in gunning down several people — one of whom who died — during a violent rampage before the suspect eventually was taken into custody.
“The suspect in this case was booked into the Maricopa County Jail (Friday) morning at approximately 8:45 a.m. The suspect in this case has been identified as 19-year-old, Ashin Tricarico, of Surprise, Arizona,” said Peoria police Sgt. Brandon Sheffert in a press release. “His motive is still unknown at this point as detectives are still sorting through evidence to determine exactly what occurred.”
