Three individuals were apprehended for their involvement in the demise of a benevolent stranger in Pima County.
Three individuals, including Elmer Smith, 19, Jack Upchurch, 40, and Wendy Scott, 16, were taken into custody at the Pima County Adult Detention Center on charges of felony arrest warrants.
In Arizona, a good Samaritan's death has led to the arrest of three individuals.
On Christmas Eve, near a smoldering vehicle, authorities discovered the lifeless body of Paul Clifford, who was 53 years old.
The suspects sought assistance with car problems at Paul Clifford's residence, but his family declared him missing after not hearing from him.
The PCSD Homicide Detectives discovered evidence suggesting the suspects might be in the vicinity of Benson Highway and Country Club Rd.
The PCSD FIU commenced searching for the vehicle and suspects, and, with the aid of various investigative and support units of PCSD, the suspects were found.
The Pima Regional SWAT Team served a search warrant at the indicated location, and the suspects barricaded themselves inside the residence. Eventually, the suspects called 9-1-1 to negotiate a surrender. All three suspects exited the residence and were taken into custody without further incident, according to a statement from the sheriff's department.
Sabrina Vining expressed her grief on GoFundMe, stating, "The loss of my dad has left us deeply saddened. He was a kind and caring individual with a heart as big as his gentle spirit."
