DEMING - In the early morning hours of October 23rd, a Deming woman found her husband, 37-year-old Jose Arroyo, shot to death in the front yard of a residence on East Jarvis Street in Deming.
Arroyo had failed to return home as expected after visiting the residence where an argument broke out. He had called his wife during the altercation, assuring her that he would be home soon. His wife reported hearing the argument in the background during their phone conversation.
When Arroyo did not show up, his worried wife went to the East Jarvis residence where she made the grim discovery.
Deming Police Chief Clint Hogan confirmed to Deming Radio News that a gunman shot Arroyo multiple times with a handgun.
Hogan told Deming Radio News that police arrested the suspect in Thatcher, AZ on October 26th, for aggravated assault on a household member. He is currently being held in Safford Arizona at the Graham County Detention Center.
Deming Investigators went to Safford to interrogate 33-year-old Edgar Ozuna, of Safford where he confessed to the murder.
A judge issued an arrest warrant for the homicide by the 6th Judicial District Court in Luna County. Ozuna is currently awaiting extradition back to Deming to stand trial for the homicide.
