MESA, Ariz. — A homicide investigation is underway in Mesa after a shooting left one person dead Tuesday night.
The shooting happened near 8th Avenue and Country Club Drive around 8 p.m.
Mesa police say an argument over drugs and money in a nearby parking lot led to 31-year-old Jamar Johnson allegedly shooting 23-year-old Ronnie Teran.
After interviewing Johnson's girlfriend, police attempted to stop him and several others in a car but they fled a short distance and crashed into a patrol car.
One officer suffered minor injuries in the crash and all three were arrested.
Mesa police claim Johnson confessed to the murder during his interview.
He has been charged with several felony charges, including second-degree murder.
