PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- A man has been arrested in connection to a shooting at a Maryvale party that left one dead and five others hurt almost seven months ago. Police said on Monday evening 18-year-old Jacob Salinas was booked on multiple felonies, including first-degree murder. Officers didn’t say how or where he was found.

On May 29, Phoenix police were called to a shooting near 59th Avenue and Thomas Road around 3:30 a.m. Investigators say the shooting happened when several uninvited guests showed up at the party and were asked to leave. Shots broke out, and multiple people were hit. Police say 18-year-old Luis Torres was taken to the hospital, where he later died. Another 18-year-old and four teens were also hospitalized with injuries.
