A suspect wanted for the murder of an Eager man was located and
arrested yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon at Roosevelt Lake.
The Gila County Sheriff’s Office says they got a tip from a
boater that a man who was dirty and asking for water approached their boat
while they were swimming. The boater left and called the Sheriff’s Office to
report the incident.
57 year old Gabriel Jaramillo was taken into custody and flown to the Gila County Sheriff’s Office
Roosevelt substation, where he was checked by Tonto Basin Fire medical
personnel and then flown to Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center for
evaluation. Police say Jaramillo complained of back pain, due to falling down a cliff.
Jaramillo was wanted in connection with the disappearance of
47 year old Steve Long of Eager. He reportedly shot at Gila County Sheriff’s deputies
during a chase from Globe to Roosevelt Lake Saturday night but didn’t hit
anyone.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety helicopter unit, Department
of Corrections K-9 and tracking crews, and officers from several other agencies
participated in the search for Jaromillo.
