U.S. Marshals located a man in Phoenix Friday who is suspected of fatally shooting a man and critically wounding a female in Tucson Thursday morning.

Daniel Miller, 37, injured himself while attempting to flee from the marshals, but was taken into custody and transported to a Phoenix hospital, according to a Tucson Police Department Facebook post.

On Thursday morning, Tucson officers responded to a call about a shooting at the 200 block of West Illinois Street.

They found 54-year-old Michael Grove and an adult female victim lying on the ground with critical gunshot injuries, the statement said.

Grove and the female were transferred to a local hospital where Grove was pronounced dead.

Officials said the female victim is in critical, but stable condition.

Tucson police learned that Miller was the suspected shooter after speaking to the female victim and witnesses.

Grove was visiting the female at her residence when her ex-boyfriend, Miller, arrived at the home, police said in the statement.

Miller allegedly shot her and Grove, and then fled the scene in a pick-up truck, according to officials.

Detectives obtained a warrant Thursday to arrest Miller for one count of first-degree murder and one count of domestic violence/attempted murder.

On Friday, the statement read Miller “will be booked into jail on the felony arrest warrant” once released from the hospital.
