Suspect of recent Mesa homicide arrested in Globe on Friday, authorities said

The suspect in a Mesa homicide was arrested in Globe on Friday following a shooting and an hourslong standoff, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

The male suspect, whose identity has not been released, had arrest warrants for a recent Mesa homicide and weapons violations. The man had been investigated by the U.S. Marshals Task Force and was ultimately found to be in Globe on Friday, authorities said.

When officers attempted to contact the man, the suspect opened fire at officers in what Deputy U.S. Marshal Matthew Tate said was "no regard for the safety of the community."

Tate said the man barricaded himself inside a nearby home following the shooting. Officers attempted to negotiate a peaceful surrender and the man was taken into custody later that night, according to Tate.

The investigation, aided by the Mesa Police Department and several other law enforcement agencies, remains ongoing.
