According to previous reporting, Bellemare was apparently patrolling on his bicycle when he was attacked. Witnesses heard gunshots and saw two people running from the area. Sketches of the suspects show a man and a woman who were last seen getting into an older-model sedan with a vinyl top.
Police arrested Gerardo in Globe, Arizona on November 3rd and was later booked into the Maricopa County Jail on one count of first-degree murder.
