GLENDALE, Ariz. — Two teenagers have been arrested by Glendale police on suspicion of murdering a 30-year-old man outside an El Pollo Loco restaurant. Marzeal Lewis, 18, and a 16-year-old boy are accused of attacking Guadalupe Estevan Zamora on the restaurant's outdoor patio Wednesday night.
The teens allegedly attempted to rob the victim before shooting Zamora multiple times. Lewis was shot in the foot during the attack, police said.
After the teens fled the area, police were told by witnesses of an apartment complex where the suspects might live.
Investigators inspected the complex and observed a resident resembling one of the teens captured on the restaurant's surveillance video.
Lewis later told police the victim looked at him with a "sign of disrespect," which allegedly prompted him to attack Zamora, public records show.
The suspects are facing charges of first-degree murder and armed robbery.
