Arrest Made in 1995 Murder Case


Last week the Gila County Sheriff’s Office arrested 47 year old Arthur Tarango Sr. in connection with the 1995 murder of Hector Mendez. The murder  occurred at the “Round Table” recreation site at the base of the Pinal Mountains.

The investigation into this “cold case” was conducted by Detective Emmett Dickison over the last three years and was assisted by Detective Ray Hernandez with the Gila County Attorney’s Office.

Details of the offence are not being released at this time because this is an ongoing investigation and additional interviews are still pending.

Anyone who has any additional information on this case is encouraged to contact Detective Dickison at 425-4449 or Detective Hernandez at 402-4243.
