Phoenix Police Reveal Crucial Insights in Murder Investigation: Brothers Charged
Phoenix police have uncovered shocking details in the murder case of Jose de Jesus Loeza whose body was discovered in a burning car last month, according to the published article of AZFamily. The suspects brothers Jose and Roberto Lomeli were arrested over the weekend in connection with the crime. According to Phoenix Police Sgt. Brian Bower a jailhouse confession from Jose Lomeli provided crucial insights into the events leading to Loeza’s death. It’s alleged that Jose Lomeli shot Loeza during an argument at a residence with Roberto Lomeli assisting in concealing the crime by orchestrating the fire in the canal where the victim’s body was found. The investigation began when firefighters responded to a call about a burning car in a canal near 55th Avenue and Osborn Road on April 1. While the victim’s body was discovered inside the vehicle it was determined that he had not died from the fire but rather from gunshot wounds. Phoenix police’s homicide unit took over the case and identified Loeza as the victim.
