An 18-year-old man has been arrested as the suspect in a deadly road rage shooting that occurred about 1:30 p.m. July 27 in Surprise, police said Sunday.

The shooter has been identified as Jaidev Christian Spicely, police said.

Spicely fled  after the shooting near 163^rd and Grand avenues, and officers used cameras in the area to identify him as the suspect in the killing of James Nicholas Solano-Aguilar, 33, according to a release from the Surprise Police Department.

Officers traveled to his home to take him into custody and as they were on their way Spicely called the department requesting to turn himself in. He was taken into custody without incident, police said.

Early Saturday afternoon, Surprise officers responded to 911 calls about a shooting near the intersection of 163^rd and Grand avenues where they saw community members performing first aid on a man in the street, the release stated.
