1 arrested after Hispanic man found decapitated in Chandler
CHANDLER, AZ - Police are looking for three additional suspects after a man was found stabbed and decapitated inside a Chandler apartment and a nearby resident was arrested in connection with the slaying.
A police statement issued on Monday says officers were called to the apartment about 5:30 a.m. the previous morning.
After discovering the slain man, detectives began an investigation and eventually arrested 36-year-old Crisantos Moroyoqui. He was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder and hindering prosecution.
The victim is a man in his 30s. His name is being withheld until his family is notified.
Police are now asking for the public's help to locate three men, Juan Campos Morales Aguilar, Jose David Castro Reyes, and a man known only as "El Joto", also suspected in the attack.
Aguilar is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 220 pounds, with short dark hair and a thin mustache. He was seen wearing a black shirt, white t-shirt and jeans.
Reyes is also a Hispanic male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 180 pounds with short hair and a clean-shaven face. He was last seen wearing a white shirt, white t-shirt and blue jeans.
The third suspect is a Hispanic male, between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 4 inches tall, thin build with short spiked black hair and a goatee. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt with a black pattern shirt and Levis.
Chandler police say the three suspects are believed to be traveling in a red 2003 Ford Expedition with California license plate 6FWR784.
Anyone with information about the suspects' whereabouts is urged to contact 911. The men are considered to be armed and dangerous.

Ermm... What do you have to do to qualify for first degree murder?!?!
I thought if the killing was premeditated, or especially gruesome, it qualified for 1st degree.
I'd say this murder qualifies on both counts.
"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen
