An arrest has been made in a fatal November shooting on Tucson’s east side.
Zechary Mazitis, 21, was arrested Thursday and booked into the Pima County jail, Sgt. Chris Widmer, spokesman for the Tucson Police Department, said in a news release.
Mazitis faces one count of second-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault in the shooting death of 18-year-old Andrew Liska. Another man was shot but survived.
The shooting was reported just before 11 p.m. Nov. 16, in the 3300 block of South Grady Avenue, near South Pantano and East Stella roads. When officers arrived they found two men with gunshot wounds lying in the middle of the road. Both were taken to a hospital with critical injuries. Liska died in the hospital days later.
Police said the two were passengers in a silver car when the driver shot both, pulled them out of the car and drove off.
