PHOENIX — Police arrested a homicide suspect on Monday following a manhunt that lasted almost three weeks after a deadly shooting in Phoenix, authorities said.
The Phoenix Police Department said 40-year-old Dominique Terrell Jackson is suspected of killing a woman in a hotel near Central Avenue and Adams Street on July 5.
His 28-year-old victim, Desiree Serpas, was found in a hotel room with at least one gunshot wound, Phoenix Police said.
Personnel with the Phoenix Fire and Medical Department pronounced her dead. Her family set up a GoFundMe to pay for her funeral.
The Phoenix Police Department Homicide Unit worked closely with the Phoenix Police Lab to identify Jackson as their suspect.
