A gunman wanted in connection with a home invasion on the Southwest Side has been identified as 21-year-old Jose Manuel Chavez.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest in connection with the incident, which was caught on surveillance cameras posted outside of the residence on Feb. 5.
Two others — Alejandro Durazo and David Gutierrez, both 22 — have been arrested. Another man identified as Jesus Gabriel Mendivil is also wanted in connection with the incident, said Deputy Dawn Barkman, a Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman.
Sheriff’s deputies were called to the home in the 3000 block of West Vande Loo Street after the invaders — who were armed with handguns and an assault rifle — stormed into the garage.
The gunmen quickly retreated when the homeowner fired at them, striking Mendivil in the arm, Barkman said.
