GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) — Police in Gilbert say a suspect has been arrested in a recent homicide case.
They say 32-year-old Jacob Samia was taken into custody Monday on suspicion of first-degree murder.
Police responded to a report of criminal damage on Oct. 11 and a blood trail in the area led them to a Gilbert home.
They say 73-year-old Frank Bernal was found unconscious at the home and had injuries that appeared to be inflicted by a beating.
Bernal was taken to a hospital and later died.
Police didn't immediately disclose what led up to Samia's arrest.
