Flagstaff Police have arrested a Tuba City man after a fatal shooting Tuesday night in Flagstaff. Officers were called to the 200 block of West High Country Trail at around 11:06 p.m. after reports of multiple gunshots in the area. When they arrived they found 34-year-old Jessica Biakeddy of Gilbert lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds.
