A man has been arrested in connection with a death Saturday morning in Flagstaff. Officers were called to the 500-block of South Agassiz Street at around 8:35 a.m. on a report of a 29-year-old Flagstaff man being shot. When officers arrived they found a man on a couch of a home, shot and apparently deceased. Officers found a gun located near the man’s body. During the investigation, officers saw an intoxicated man in an alleyway behind the home, who was passed out and had blood on his clothes.
