PHOENIX — A suspect was arrested over the weekend after fatally shooting a 26-year-old man in Phoenix, authorities said Monday.

Phoenix police responded to the area of 51st Avenue and Baseline Road to a reported shooting on Sunday.

When officers arrived they found Isaiah Munoz suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
