You might even see some of the victim\u2019s blood, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Bower said anyone in the community is encouraged to report anything suspicious. A $2,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Arizona\u2019s Family is still working to learn what led up to the arrest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\">See a spelling or grammatical error in our story? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azfamily.com\/page\/send-us-your-feedback\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Please click here to report it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\">Do you have a photo or video of a breaking news story?
