Teen, Adults Arrested In Connection With Deadly South Phoenix Shooting

Phoenix Police are investigating a homicide that has left a 19-year-old Adrian Rufgio Beaulieu dead.

On March 1st, , around 11:30 p.m., Phoenix Police Department officers were called to the area of 7th Avenue and Alta Vista Road about a shooting. When officers got there, they found Adrian, who had been shot.

Detectives interviewed witnesses on scene and the account of events changed multiple times, before it was learned that Adrian was accidentally shot by a 16-year-old male.

Several occupants of the apartment impeded the investigation by hiding evidence prior to police arrival, and changing their stories with investigators. Police say the teenager was booked into the Maricopa County Jail along with 36-year-old Deanna Silva, 20-year-old Daniel Ruelas and 38-year-old Eric Buchanan.

The investigation of the fatal shooting is continuing.
