Suspects arrested for shooting outside Wendy's in Mesa

The victim was lured out of the Mesa Wendy's before he was beaten and shot several times, court documents show.

MESA, Ariz. — Four suspects allegedly involved in the beating and shooting of a Wendy's employee in Mesa last month have been detained. 

Maurice Miles, 20, was arrested last week for his alleged involvement in a violent attack on March 14 that resulted in a man getting shot 11 times. 

Three other suspects have also been detained. They've been identified as 23-year-old Michael Kidd, 23-year-old Kendrick Bessix, and 29-year-old Nyjah Durant.

Court records show a group of attackers lured the man out of the Wendy's, beat him with a metal pole, then Kidd allegedly shot him several times with an assault rifle.

The assault occurred in the parking lot outside the Wendy's located near Main Street and Greenfield Road.

The victim told Mesa police he knew his assailants and that they all were members of a music group, court records show. 

The four suspects were booked into the Maricopa County jail and could be facing multiple felony charges.
