TUCSON - Tucson police say a 17-year-old gang member has been fatally shot outside a convenience store in a confrontation with three rival gang members.

A police spokesman says the three gang members confronted Roy David Fierros as he bought a drink in a Circle K store and the argument spilled into the parking lot, where one allegedly pulled a handgun and shot him.

Sgt. Fabian Pacheco said police chased three suspects in a sport utility vehicle, catching two quickly as the three ran off when the vehicle was stopped.

The third was arrested after a police helicopter and canine units joined in the chase.

Pacheco says all three suspects have been booked into the Pima County Jail on suspicion of first-degree murder. No names were immediately released.
