Jose Zarateedits: Maricopa County Sheriff's Office

On Wednesday, deputies with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) arrested Jose Zarate, 25, after he reportedly shot a woman to death who was trying to defend her daughter.
The shooting took place on Monday night in Aguila, Ariz.

KSAZ reported:

Authorities say an argument ensued after the suspect, 25-year-old Jose Zarate, went to 31-year-old Maria Saucedo's home around 9:30 p.m.

When the two began fighting about Zarate wanting to have a romantic relationship with Saucedo's 13-year-old daughter, he pulled out a rifle and shot her in the chest at close range -- in the presence of the teen.

According to the MCSO report, "One of several witnesses to the crime apparently disarmed Zarate before he fled the area on foot."

When they arrived at the scene, deputies administered CPR on Saucedo, but she was later pronounced dead.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio stated: "How awful this is that a mother loses her life in the process of defending her daughter's honor."

Zarate has been charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault and prohibited weapon possession. He is currently being held in the 4th Avenue Jail on an immigration detainer.
