PHOENIX — Phoenix police have announced the arrest of a 21-year-old man for the 2019 homicide of a teen.
In October 2019, officers found 18-year-old Ethan Derivera sitting in the driver's seat of a car, shot near 70th Avenue and McDowell Road.
Derivera was taken to the hospital and later died from his injuries.
In late January 2026, an investigation led authorities to arrest 21-year-old Kevin Ramirez.
Ramirez was booked into jail on charges of first degree murder during commission of a crime and armed robbery with a deadly weapon.
