Chandler police: Suspect in fatal Aug. 29 shooting arrested

CHANDLER, Ariz. – A suspect has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting three months ago in Chandler, police said.

They said 22-year-old Nozre Ware of Scottsdale has been booked into jail on suspicion of first-degree murder and aggravated assault.

Officers were dispatched to a Chandler home on the night of Aug. 29 about a shooting, according to police.

Police found two victims at the scene with gunshot wounds.

They said 47-year-old Danita Hunter was pronounced dead at a hospital and a 22-year-old man was critically wounded but survived.

Based on video surveillance footage, police said the suspect fled from the house on foot.

Police were able to identify Ware as a suspect in the case recently and arrest him.

It was unclear Tuesday if Ware has a lawyer who can speak on his behalf.
