PHOENIX — A man accused of fatally shooting two people at a West Phoenix hotel was arrested early Saturday morning, authorities said.

Jose Gregorio Inchaurriga Ruacho, 33, was booked into the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office on multiple charges stemming from the shooting that occurred on Thursday morning, the Phoenix Police Department said in a press release.
