Authorities say two men whose bodies were found near a northeast Mesa gun range likely died from a murder-suicide.
A passerby found the bodies face-down on Usery Pass Road last Friday and called the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. One man was declared dead on the scene and the other was airlifted to a Scottsdale hospital where he died.
Investigators say both men died from gunshot wounds.
The sheriff's office announced Wednesday that the victims have been identified as 22-year-old Alejandro Rafael Meza, of Rio Rico, and 28-year-old Christian Bolanos Garcia.
Authorities believe Meza and Garcia attacked and stabbed a woman in Scottsdale last Friday morning before fleeing in a car.

More deaths of people with Hispanic surnames. No one could have seen this coming.

Cleansing of the gene pool - usually, a good thing.

I can only hope that someday the gene pool cleansing reach out and touch the insensitive, narrow minded and ignorant.

They were just sharing their rich cultural heritage, with ONE ANOTHER instead of with us, the non criminal citizens of Arizona.
