PHOENIX — A man is dead and another was arrested after a west Phoenix shooting on Friday morning, according to authorities.

Officers responded to a shooting call in a neighborhood near 51st and Southern avenues around 1:10 a.m. and learned of a victim shot by a known suspect, according to the Phoenix Police Department.

The victim, 27-year-old Luis Beltran-Arteaga, was taken to a hospital by family members where he later died.
