The dead man was identified as Julian Benitez, 21, of Phoenix. The other victim, Abraham Escalante, 25, was reported in good condition Tuesday at a Phoenix hospital. The incident occurred about 10 p.m. Monday while Benitez, Escalante and two other men were in a car that nearly hit a parked vehicle. Two men in the other vehicle chased the four to the north side of a restaurant where shots were fired, killing Benitez and wounding Escalante.

The shooters drove away in a black sport utility vehicle that was manufactured about 1988 to 1994, police said. Phoenix, Dewey homes searched in meth sweep PHOENIX About 100 law enforcement officers fanned out across Maricopa and Yavapai counties Tuesday to serve search warrants on six suspected meth labs. The raids culminated a three-month investigation, said Department of Public Safety spokesman Frank Valenzuela. The investigation began in February when a search warrant was served at a Dewey home that contained a meth lab, he said. Officers seized chemicals, 32 guns and various stolen items at that time.

Tuesday's raids targeted four homes in Phoenix and two in Dewey. Authorities did not release details about what was seized in those raids. lowa man suffers injury in Oak Creek Canyon SEDONA A 66-year-old Iowa man was hospitalized after a falling tree hit him while he hiked in northern Arizona. The man, whose name wasn't immediately released, and his son were hiking Monday on West Fork Trail in Oak Creek Canyon when they heard a cracking noise and turned to see the tree begin to topple, said Sedona Fire District spokesman Gary Johnson. The 30-year-old son, who is from Mesa, managed to get out of the way.

However, his father was hit and knocked into Oak Creek, Johnson said. It took rescue crews five hours to get the man out of the wooded area. He was airlifted to Flagstaff Medical Center with a fractured left ankle and shoulder injuries. Deaths of man, woman likely homicide-suicide TUCSON A man and woman died early Tuesday in what police believe was a homicidesuicide. Police officers responded to a report of a shooting and found a wounded 42-year-old woman outside a Tucson residence.

She was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to a hospital, police said. A suspicious vehicle was spotted by police a short time later. There was a brief pursuit, which ended when the man drove back to the scene and drove his car into a lot next to the victim's residence, police said. Officers then heard a shot and found the man dead of a self-inflicted wound. Investigators said the man and woman apparently knew each other but their exact relationship wasn't immediately determined.

The victims' names were not released. 2 homes, 3 vehicles lost to possible arson TUCSON Three vehicles and two mobile homes were destroyed in a fire south of Tucson, authorities said. No one was hurt in the blaze, which apparently started in a dune buggy that was parked between the two mobile homes, said Capt. Corey Reed of the Fire Department. "It's looking like arson right now," said Reed, who didn't have a damage estimate.

He said both homes were engulfed when the first of 30 firefighters arrived. Authorities said they didn't know how many people were displaced. Compiled from reports by The Arizona Republic and Associated.
