Ryan Elliot Giroux was identified by Phoenix’s 12 News and AZCentral as the mass shooting suspect in Mesa, Arizona, on Wednesday. The shooting left one dead and five wounded.

However, officials have not identified a suspect in the case. ABC-15 later reported that a suspect was arrested in the case. According to AZCentral, a source identified the suspect as Giroux and posted a photo of him, via the Arizona Department of Corrections. It says:

Mesa police have captured a suspect matching the description of a man sources identify as Ryan Giroux, who allegedly wounded six people, killing one person Wednesday.

The suspect was taken into custody a few miles from the Main St. and Alma School Rd. shooting scene. Police said during a briefing the suspect was in a vacant condo at Dobson Rd. and 8th Ave. He was spotted on the balcony and was apprehended inside the condo shortly after 1 p.m.

The suspect was hit with a stun gun by Mesa SWAT, then arrested without major incident, police said. He emerged from an apartment, wearing a white hooded jump suit, accompanied by several heavily armed police officers. He was then placed into a gray pickup truck.
