BUCKEYE, AZ - Authorities say two men are in custody in connection with a fatal shooting in Buckeye.
Buckeye police announced Tuesday that 18-year-old Jaime Manuel Martinez of Tolleson and 19-year-old Ismael Leon Jr. of Avondale both have been arrested in the case.
Martinez is being held on a $1 million bond and Leon on a $100,000 bond at a downtown Phoenix jail. It's unclear if they have lawyers yet.
Police responded to the 300 block of South 9th Street early Sunday about a fight in progress which escalated to shots being fired.
They say 25-year-old Marco Antonio Berrelleza-Solano of Buckeye was declared dead at the scene from a single gunshot wound to the chest.
The suspects fled the scene in a vehicle and were subsequently stopped by officers in a nearby neighborhood.
