Three Sierra Vista teens, Xaria Garcia, Savannah Livesay, and Michael Hays are facing adult charges for multiple felonies after assaulting another juvenile who walked in on a recent burglary in progress.

Early on Wednesday, Sept. 11, the Sierra Vista Police Department arrested the three juveniles after officers responded to a burglary call at an apartment complex located in the 300 block of North 7th Street on Sunday, Sept. 8, at about 10 p.m. An apartment resident and her juvenile son had returned to the complex that evening. While the mother retrieved her grandson from the vehicle, her son went up to the apartment to find the front door kicked in and three people inside.

The three suspects were later identified as Hays, age 16, from Sierra Vista, Garcia, age 16 from Douglas, and Livesay, age 17, from Sierra Vista.

Hays, Garcia, and Livesay began to flee the apartment but turned around and attacked the juvenile resident. The juvenile resident was pushed into a window and knocked to the ground. All three suspects then struck the juvenile numerous times. The juvenile victim was taken to Canyon Vista Medical Center for multiple lacerations to his body that were caused by being pushed into the window and required several stitches.

According to Sierra Vista Police, Detective Joshua Nicola was able to positively identify Hays as the suspect from the information provided by the victim to include his first name and a physical description; however the two female suspects remained unknown. A break in the case led detectives to the identity of Livesay and Garcia.

Hays, Garcia, and Livesay were all charges with aggravated robbery, burglary, kidnapping, and three counts of aggravated assault. They were booked into Cochise County Jail.
