UA shooting suspect arrested for premeditated murder

University of Arizona police have arrested the suspect who allegedly shot and killed a Pima Community College student on Sunday.

According to a statement from the UAPD, Ryan Romero-Encinas was arrested and taken into custody on charges of first-degree murder at an apartment complex on Wetmore Road around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Romero-Encinas was the only suspect named following Sunday's shooting on campus. The victim was identified late Monday as Minhaj Jamshidi.

According to a statement from Jeffrey P. Nasse, chancellor of Pima Community College, he took courses in civil and structural engineering.

According to initial reports from the UAPD, Jamshidi was shot following an altercation on the volleyball courts near the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall near Park Avenue and Fourth Street.

Romero-Encinas fled the scene on foot, and in the days that followed, police officers executed search warrants at two locations in Tucson, but no arrests were made. University police also enlisted the help of Tucson Police, Pima SWAT teams, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals.
