    Update #3 — Stevie Nelson arrested in San Diego County in fatal Phoenix shooting

    Police have made an arrest in the fatal shooting near 16th Avenue and Buckeye Road in Phoenix. Stevie Nelson, 29, was arrested in San Diego County, California, in connection with the death of Ricktavon Thompson, 26, who was shot multiple times in a business parking lot shortly after 6:30 p.m. on October 28 and died in hospital. A second man was also shot and is expected to recover. Detectives say Thompson and Nelson got into a fight, during which a 32-year-old woman also assaulted Thompson, and that Thompson was shot multiple times as he tried to leave. Police used license plate reader technology to identify the suspects, and San Diego police found Nelson and the woman in a rental vehicle about a mile from the U.S.–Mexico border and took both into custody. Nelson is expected to be brought back to Arizona and booked on suspicion of second-degree murder. It is not yet clear whether the woman faces charges. Phoenix police said the arrest stopped "a dangerous felon" from fleeing the country. We are following this case and will update it again as soon as new information comes.
