The University of Arizona Police Department arrested a suspect in connection with Sunday’s on-campus shooting late Wednesday afternoon.
Ryan Romero-Encinas, 20, was taken into custody without incident at 3:32 p.m at 850 E. Wetmore Road.
Romero-Encinas is facing charges of murder in the first degree after Sunday’s shooting on the volleyball courts outside Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall resulted in the death of 19-year-old Minhaj Jamshidi, a student at Pima Community College.
UAPD released Romero-Encinas’ name as a suspect Tuesday afternoon.
Prior to this arrest, students and faculty across the university had expressed concern about continuing to attend classes with a suspect on the loose.
