Man arrested in double murder
The Glendale Police Department has made its first homicide arrest of 2009, thanks to help from Phoenix police.
Jesus Adan Nevarez-Cota is suspected of being one of four men involved in a home-invasion robbery in June that left the homeowner and an intruder dead.
Police say Nevarez-Cota, 20, of Phoenix, and the three other men were armed with assault rifles when they kicked in the back door of a Glendale residence in the 7000 block of West Cavalier Drive. Police say the homeowner, who also was armed, confronted the men and a gunbattle ensued.
Police said Nevarez-Cota is the registered owner of a vehicle that the men used to leave the scene.
Phoenix police talked to Nevarez-Cota on Dec. 31, during a traffic stop, and called Glendale authorities.
He now faces two counts of first-degree murder.
