Phoenix police say all three suspects are jailed on suspicion of first-degree murder, armed robbery and possession of dangerous drugs for sale.

Officers responded to a report of shots fired late Friday night and found 38-year-old Roberto Perez inside in a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say it appears the victim was robbed during a drug deal before the fatal shooting.
