CHANDLER, AZ — A man has been arrested after a deadly shooting in Chandler Friday morning.
Chandler police officers were called to a neighborhood near Arizona Avenue and Pecos Road just before 9:30 a.m. for reports of a shooting.
When police arrived, they found a victim, identified as Jessica Luz, with a gunshot wound. She was taken to a hospital where she died from her injuries.
Chandler police say the suspect, identified as 40-year-old James A. Taylor, fled the area after the shooting but was taken into custody hours later.
According to court paperwork, Taylor admitted to shooting Luz several times because she would not leave an alleyway behind his house.
Taylor faces one count of homicide and one count of being a prohibited possessor of a gun.
