A 61-year-old man was arrested after allegedly running over and stomping a man with his car.
The Mesa Police Department reported that shortly after 12:30 p.m., officers responded to a report of a vehicle crash near 6400 E. Alder Mesa. The victim, 63-year-old Christopher Heimer, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The police discovered via video surveillance camera footage and witness interviews that Heimer was walking westbound on Alder when John Lagana was driving eastbound. Police said Heimer was thrown into the yard of a fourplex apartment building after Lagana swerved off the road and struck him.
According to police, Lagana exited his car and stomped on Heimer's head as he lay injured on the ground as he drove down the sidewalk and damaged mailboxes.
Lagana was arrested after a witness fired into the ground to stop him from fleeing.
According to police, Lagana allegedly honked his horn repeatedly before the incident in a vacant lot near Heimer's house.
Officers found skid marks on the road and sidewalk caused by Lagana's car at the scene.
He told investigators he knew Heimer, and Heimer let him park at his residence since Lagana was homeless, KNXV-TV reports. Lagana's ex-girlfriend allegedly lived at Heimer's residence.
On a $2 million bond, Lagana was booked into jail for first-degree murder.
