PHOENIX — The shooting death of a 39-year-old man on Interstate 10 in Phoenix earlier this month has been ruled a homicide, authorities said Thursday.

Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers found Lealdo Tolano with a gunshot wound in his gray 2009 Ford Escape on westbound I-10 near Seventh Avenue around 3:35 a.m. on June 10, according to the Phoenix Police Department.

Tolano was taken to a hospital and died there. The incident closed the freeway for about nine hours.
