Two suspects are in custody after they
According to the Mesa Police Department, on June 13, 2024, around 9:30 PM, officers responded to a “shots fired” call. The caller reported receiving an alert from his front door camera about someone outside. As he approached the door, he heard a bang! The glass of his front door shattered right in front of him, scathing his forehead, and extensive damage to the front of the home remained.
Officers learned that what they originally thought was a gunshot, was actually a firework. It was thrown against the house by suspects who fled the area.
Using neighborhood surveillance videos, in conjunction with police databases, officers were able to identify and arrest Daniel J. Traynor, age 18, and Eliyzar R. Frias, age 19.
Both were booked into jail on June 19, 2024 for the following charges:
· Arson of an Occupied Structure, Class 2 Felony
· Aggravated Assault, Class 3 Felony
· Criminal Damage, Class 6 Felony
