PHOENIX — An Arizona man was sentenced Monday to life prison in the killings of three people at a Phoenix apartment that was set on fire.<\/p>\n

Chase Scott Christman, 31, of Mesa had previously pleaded guilty to murder and robbery charges stemming from the July 2024 deaths of Merissa Honeycutt, 27; Anthony Frederickson Ceccarelli, 25; and Samuel Lott, 37.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say Christman had gone to the apartment in Phoenix\u2019s Ahwatukee area to get drugs and steal money.<\/p>\n

R.J. Parker, an attorney representing Christman, didn\u2019t return a phone call from The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

The bodies were found by firefighters who responded to a blaze at the apartment. Authorities said the bodies and the apartment weren\u2019t significantly damaged in the fire.<\/p>\n

Neighbors told investigators they heard screaming coming from the apartment. Police say one victim was fatally stabbed, another was shot to death and another was both shot and stabbed. <\/p>\n

Authorities say the victims likely fought back during the violent attacks and that Christman had cuts on his hands when he was arrested<\/a>. Prosecutors say blood found in the apartment was matched with Christman\u2019s DNA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHOENIX — An Arizona man was sentenced Monday to life prison in the killings of three people at…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10263,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5131],"tags":[11220,5229,5643,347,1587,4219,10407,4216,57,4221,4228,362,1589,2938,8156,61,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-10262","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phoenix","8":"tag-11220","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-arizona","11":"tag-article","12":"tag-az","13":"tag-crime","14":"tag-criminal-punishment","15":"tag-fires","16":"tag-general-news","17":"tag-homicide","18":"tag-indictments","19":"tag-legal-proceedings","20":"tag-phoenix","21":"tag-prisons","22":"tag-theft","23":"tag-u-s-news","24":"tag-united-states","25":"tag-united-states-of-america","26":"tag-unitedstates","27":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","28":"tag-us","29":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114737409318067081","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
