A fight between human-smugglers left one man dead and a 12-year-old boy wounded south of Eloy on Saturday and officials are asking for the public's help in finding the shooters.
David Norris Jr., 46, of Eloy, about 50 miles northwest of Tucson, was driving a vehicle containing 12 illegal entrants in a farm field near Sunshine and Ellis roads when four heavily armed men in a white full-size van began firing on them, Michael Minter, a Pinal County Sheriff's Department spokesman, said Wednesday.
Norris was killed. One of the illegal entrants, a 12-year-old boy, was shot in the leg, he said. The boy was taken to University Medical Center, where he is in stable condition.
All of the illegal entrants fled from the van when the attack ended and all but one were found, Minter said. It is believed that the one person who was not found may have been shot.
None of the shooters has been arrested, Minter said. They were wearing green camouflage pants and shirts and wearing military-style berets — three black and one red. The shooters spoke limited Spanish.
Anyone with information can come forward anonymously by contacting the Pinal County sheriff's homicide unit at 1-800-358-4636 or 1-520-866-5105.
