A 20-year-old man was arrested in connection with a deadly shooting rampage that began Friday in Phoenix and ended Saturday in the nearby city of Mesa, Arizona police said. The suspected gunman, Iren Byers, was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one charge of attempted murder. After his arrest Saturday, Byers allegedly told police where they could find the handgun he had used. Investigators linked the weapon to a Friday afternoon homicide in Phoenix, with surveillance footage allegedly connecting Byers to four other separate shootings in Mesa late Friday and early Saturday.
