SPECIAL SECTION: Phoenix Freeway Shootings
The Arizona Department of Public Safety continues its round-the-clock investigation with dozens of agents combing through information, DPS spokesman Bart Graves said.
There were eleven incidents of vehicles being struck by a bullet (eight times) or a projectile (three times) between late-August and September 10, according to DPS. No one was hurt.
Investigators have received approximately 1,000 tips, generating 550 leads, according to Graves.
While DPS does not have a suspect, the agency’s “person of interest” in the case has a court hearing scheduled for Friday morning.
Oscar De La Torre Munoz was arrested on suspicion of felony possession of marijuana September 11 and has been held in jail on a probation violation. De La Torre Munoz previously pleaded guilty to endangerment after a roadway speeding arrest.
