In Mesa over the past week, police responded to several high-profile criminal incidents and investigations.

The child was transported to the hospital but passed away on the morning of July 29. Mesa Police stated that medical staff had observed visible bruising and internal injuries on the baby. Investigators allege that 19-year-old Arnold Barney inflicted the injuries while attempting to calm his crying child. Arnold Barney was arrested and booked on allegations of first-degree murder and child abuse. Officers confirm the case remains active and all evidence is being reviewed for charging decisions.
