Mesa brothers arrested after roommate was shot to death in apartment

Two brothers have been arrested after their roommate was shot and killed at a Mesa apartment complex on Thursday.

Officers had been called to an apartment near Mesa Drive and Southern Avenue after someone reported that there was a man in the bathroom with a gun.

“When officers arrived, three people came out of the apartment through their bedroom windows,” police said. “One person told officers there was a man inside with a gun.”

Jesus Baez-Franco, 36, claimed that he was in the bathroom when he heard someone rack a gun slide.

He told police he shot his own gun through the closed bathroom door in response.
