PHOENIX (AP) - Police in Phoenix say a man has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting last weekend.

They say 21-year-old Khari Lane was armed when he was taken into custody Wednesday.

It was unclear Thursday if Lane has a lawyer yet.



Officers responded Sunday morning to a report about an injured person in the front yard of a home, people said.

They say 29-year-old Xavier Dillard was found with severe physical trauma and a gunshot wound.

Fire personnel arrived and pronounced Dillard dead at the scene.

Dillard had been reported as a missing person one day before, police said.

They say probable cause was developed to arrest Lane in the case being investigated as a homicide. But police didn’t immediately release details.
