Jose Esteban Mendoza, a suspect in an attempted murder in a Buckeye home, was arrested Friday morning in Tucson, police told media outlets Saturday. 

On March 22, Buckeye police responded to a call of a shooting in a home near 201st Avenue and Buchanan Street around 7 p.m.

Inside, police discovered a man in his 20s who had been shot. He was transported to the hospital in critical condition, and his identity has not been released. 

Police said Mendoza, 33, fled the scene in a 2015 black Dodge Charger SXT. In the days following the shooting, police released Mendoza’s photo and an image of his vehicle, which appears to have been taken from surveillance footage. 

Police announced Saturday that Mendoza had been caught the day before around 11:30 a.m. in Tucson with the help of the U.S. Marshals Service. 

The Buckeye Police Department did not release any more information related to Mendoza’s capture but stated that they expect to have more information available Monday.
