Mesa PD: Motorcyclist fatally shot in suspected road rage incident, teen arrested

Police said that 42-year-old Arron Hendricks was found lying next to his motorcycle with a gunshot wound near Sossaman Road and Main Street.

MESA, Ariz. — Mesa homicide detectives are searching for suspects in the killing of 42-year-old Arron Hendricks, who was found shot beside his motorcycle Saturday afternoon.

Officers reportedly found Hendricks lying in the roadway at the intersection of Sossaman Road and Main Street.

First responders took Hendricks to a hospital where he later died from his injuries.

Witnesses told police that Hendricks was shot by a person in a red passenger car, which was last seen fleeing eastbound on Main Street.
