YCSO and DPS Ranger Helicopter were involved in the search for an attempted murder suspect in the area of Verde Village-1 Tuesday night. YCSO spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says they were searching for 20-year old Aaron Martin of Cottonwood. He says Martin was wanted in connection with a drive-by shooting that occurred Tuesday night. Tuesday night at around 7:30-pm, a suspect identified as Aaron Martin shot several rounds from a firearm towards a man seated on the front porch of a home in the 5900 block of East River Run Drive. At the time, Martin was a passenger in a moving vehicle. Although several rounds struck the home, Martin missed his target and fortunately no one in the home was injured. D’Evelyn says the vehicle White was a passenger in fled from pursuing deputies and White and the driver were able to escape on foot. White and a handgun were recovered. This case is actively being investigated so further details are expected.
