Third Suspect In Shooting Death Identified

POSTED: 8:54 am MST April 28, 2008
UPDATED: 9:20 am MST April 28, 2008

Phoenix police said they've learned the name of a man wanted on suspicion of second-degree murder.

A suspect known only as "Danny" was wanted in the April 18 shooting death of 19-year-old Eli Olvera. Police on Monday said they had identified the suspect as Danny Cruz Morones, 19.

Morones, 21-year-old Raul Nava, and 20-year-old Tomas Nava are accused of firing dozens of bullets at Olvera's car, hitting and killing Olvera.

Tomas Nava was arrested April 21 as he crossed the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso, Texas. Police said media coverage of the shooting had spurred him to return to the U.S.

A fourth man believed to have been at the scene of the shooting, though not a suspect, turned himself in to police April 23. He was arrested on an unrelated outstanding warrant.

Morones and Raul Nava are each wanted on suspicion of second-degree murder. Police believe they are still in the Phoenix area. Anyone with information regarding their whereabouts is asked to call Phoenix police at 602-262-6141 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.
