PHOENIX — A man is dead and another is in custody according to court paperwork.

ABC15 obtained documents that say 23-year-old Jose Garcia shot and killed Jiehaison Lane after a fight near Central Avenue and Roosevelt Road around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Phoenix police say they were called to the area for a reported shooting. When they arrived, they found Lane, he was rushed to the hospital where he died from his injuries.

Court paperwork says surveillance from nearby businesses and a Tesla were used to help make the arrest.

Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots.

Garcia faces second-degree murder charges.

Lane's family spoke with ABC15, sharing a statement:

"The Lane family of Cedar Ridge, AZ was devastated by the lost of their beloved son, brother, uncle and dad. Jay was the only son, and was his mothers handyman, groundskeeper, and protector. Jay was a relentless hardworking man who was working as an Iron Worker. He dreamed of starting his own construction company on the Navajo Reservation. Jay was fluent in Navajo, loved the outdoors and was always helping others. He will be deeply missed but we are confident he is with his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
