Suspect arrested in Phoenix shooting that left one person dead and one injured

Phoenix police identified and arrested 49-year-old Refugio Jimenez in connection with a shooting that killed 29-year-old Rashaad Johnson and sent a 32-year-old woman to the hospital.

During Thursday’s arrest, police said Jimenez “discarded” a firearm, was wearing body armor and was found in possession of methamphetamine. He was booked into a Maricopa County jail on suspicion of nine felony counts, including one count of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm.

During an interview with investigators, Jimenez claimed he was resisting, but police said that was not supported by evidence found at the crime scene.
