Glendale police have arrested a man suspected of murdering two men Tuesday night.

Detectives located 23-year-old Timothy Bland Thursday afternoon near 107th Avenue and Indian School Road.

He was arrested and booked on two counts of 1st degree murder, a single count of prohibited possession of a firearm and violation of parole.

At about 11:15 p.m. Tuesday night, police responded to several calls about gunshots fired near 59th Avenue and Camelback Road.

Upon their arrival, officers found Jean Bukuru and Celestin Nzobonimpa sitting in a tan Dodge Durango with several gunshot wounds.

Both men later died from their injuries.

Investigators discovered that Bland and Bukuru had an ongoing personal conflict over a woman. 

Detectives determined Bland shot and killed Bukuru and Nzobonimpa.  Jealousy is believed to be the motive.
