Two East Valley men suspected in the shooting death of a Tempe resident have been arrested, police said.
Roy Bigelow, 46, and Darren Cooney, 42, were wanted in connection with a Dec. 15 homicide at an apartment complex in the 1200 block of East 8th Street. In that incident, 28-year-old Frank Daniel Demedio Jr. was shot to death.
Tempe police spokesman Sgt. Steve Carbajal said the investigation revealed Demedio argued with the two over a drug debt before Bigelow shot him. It wasn’t immediately known what was owed to whom.
Cooney was arrested in west-central Mesa on Tuesday afternoon; Mesa police took Bigelow, driving an allegedly stolen car, into custody early Wednesday.
Bigelow and Cooney were booked into jail on counts of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery and burglary, Carbajal said.
According to police records, was Tempe’s fourth homicide of 2008.

Wonder if they really think using a gun was worth the price, Their life in a jail cell. Must not of really wanted their money otherwise they wouldnt of shot him. Cuz a DEAD MAN cant Pay . lol pretty stupid of them.
Howabout all of the druggies just put a gun to their OWN heads, save everyone around them getting dragged down into the cesspool of their useless existance. Drug dealers should be stuck in a large glass bottle, feed them, give them water, then nature gives justice.
