CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — Four teen boys were arrested for trespassing in connection to a homicide in Casa Grande where 17-year-old Hailey Stephens was shot and killed at a house party.
The Casa Grande Police Department arrested a 15-year-old, a 17-year-old and two 16-year-old teens on charges of criminal trespass.
Casa Grande police officers responded to the shooting just after 1 a.m. on Nov. 26. When officers arrived at the scene, they found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Police said an altercation between an unknown number of party attendees took place and resulted in shots being fired. Stephens and another 17-year-old girl were hit. Both were victims of stray bullets, police said.
Stephens died as a result of being shot and the other victim continues to recover from her injury, police said.
Three other teens were arrested this week in connection to the shooting: a 16-year-old boy from Casa Grande and a 17-year-old boy from Coolidge. A third teenager from Coolidge, 18-year-old Jesiah Amaru Street, turned himself in at the Casa Grande Public Safety Facility around 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Street was booked into the Pinal County Adult Detention Center on a possible 2nd-degree murder charge.
It is unclear how the teens arrested for trespassing are related to the homicide investigation, but police said they will be booked into the Pinal County Juvenile Detention Center.
