YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – A suspect has been arrested in connection to an attempted murder that took place last month.
According to the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO), they arrested and booked a 47-year-old Yuma man for first degree attempted murder Friday, October 24.
On September 11, YCSO says deputies responded to the area of Myrtle Avenue and Ninth Street, close to Kiwanis Park, where they found an 18-year-old man with critical injuries.
The victim was taken to Onvida Health, but was later flown to a Phoenix area hospital “due to the extent of his injuries,” YCSO said.
The suspect is being held on a bond of $350,000, and the case remains under investigation at this time.
