A man has been arrested in connection with a 2016 homicide after his DNA matched DNA recovered from the crime scene, said the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.

Officials say, on November 9, 2016, deputies located a dead woman in the area of 107th and Southern avenues. The victim, Sabrina Rollins, 39, had been released from the Lower Buckeye jail less than two days before her body was discovered, officials said.

Rollins died from gunshot wounds and a sexual assault kit was submitted to the Arizona Department of Public Safety Crime Laboratory, according to the Sheriff's office.

In April 2019, a familial DNA analysis was conducted and a search of the Arizona DNA Arrestee and Convicted Offender database for a potential relative of the suspect.

In November 2019, the laboratory provided the results of the familial DNA analysis, which led to Reed, authorities say. A search warrant was obtained and a DNA sample was taken from a suspect and compared to the DNA recovered from the original crime, according to Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone.

On April 24, Tony Tyrone Reed, 60, was arrested in connection with the murder, according to MCSO officials.

"The success of identifying a suspect in this investigation demonstrates the professional collaboration and hard work between the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office," said Sheriff Penzone.
