TEMPE, Ariz. - Tempe Police say the suspect accused of shooting and killing his girlfriend's brother during a fight near Rural and Southern roads on March 5 has turned himself in 10 days later.
Officers say a fight broke out between a man and a woman inside of a home in the area. During the argument, the woman's brother tried to intervene and de-escalate the conflict, police say.
That's when the woman's boyfriend, 31-year-old Sterling Evans, pulled out his gun and shot her brother. The victim was taken to the hospital and later died from his injuries.
