Mesa police officers are investigating four separate shootings that left three people dead and one person in the hospital.<\/p>\n

Officers believe the shootings are related and have identified a person responsible for the investigation. Investigators are in the process of questioning that person, police said.<\/p>\n

Shortly before 10:30 p.m. Friday, officers were dispatched to Beverly Park near Alma School Road and Main Street for a report of a person found dead. Officers discovered the body of a 41-year-old man.<\/p>\n

While still in the park, officers heard shots fired nearby and other officers began searching the area, police said. Around 12:15 a.m. Saturday, officers found a 36-year-old woman with injuries at Stewart and Main Street. The woman was taken to hospital where she is in stable condition and will undergo surgery for serious injuries, police said.<\/p>\n

Another person called police shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday to report a dead man near a bus stop at South Country Club Drive and Second Avenue. Officers arrived and found the body of another 41-year-old man.<\/p>\n

Officers searched the area for the suspect and other victims, eventually discovering another body shortly after 2 a.m. near South Extension Road and Main Street. That person has not been identified but is believed to be a man, police said.<\/p>\n

All four victims had gunshot wounds. Their names will not be released until family notifications have been made, said Sgt. Brandi George, spokeswoman for the Mesa Police Department.<\/p>\n

“Although this case is very complex and still in the early stages, the Mesa Police Department has identified a person responsible for the investigation, who is currently in custody,” George said.<\/p>\n

Mesa Mayor John Giles issued a statement Saturday evening to say he was deeply disturbed by the overnight violence in Mesa and that “this is a tragedy that was felt throughout the city.”<\/p>\n

“The residents of Mesa deserve a safe and peaceful city,” Giles said. “Unfortunately, incidents like this are all too common in cities large and small across the country.”<\/p>\n

Search warrants are being served and interviews of potential witnesses are still underway. Anyone with additional information about these cases can contact the Mesa Police Department at 480-644-2211.<\/p>\n
