   An Arizona man was arrested after he randomly shot five people Friday and   
   Saturday, killing four and injuring one, police alleged.   
      
   Police arrested Iren Byers, 20, on Saturday on four counts of first-degree   
   murder and a count of attempted murder after Mesa police officials saw him   
   on video near the scenes of multiple shootings that occurred Friday and   
   Saturday, police said. One person was killed Friday afternoon in Phoenix,   
   and three were killed and one was injured in Mesa late Friday and early   
   Saturday. Byers confessed to the shootings once he was in custody, police   
   alleged.   
      
   The injured victim in Mesa, a 36-year-old woman, was stable and will   
   undergo surgery for serious injuries, said Detective Brandi George, a   
   police spokesperson. Police found her with gunshot wounds around 12:15   
   a.m. Saturday at Main and Stewart streets.   
      
   George said detectives believe that Byers “has a lot of different motives”   
   and that the shootings were random, adding that authorities also “suspect   
   there may be some mental illness there.”   
      
   Byers told detectives that he shot the injured woman because “she made him   
   mad” after he began talking to her, the probable cause statement says. It   
   alleges that he shot her in the face and then “shot her another time   
   because she wasn’t dead yet.”   
      
   The Phoenix victim, who was killed around 2:45 p.m. Friday, was a man   
   Byers allegedly met around North 24th Street and Thomas Road, according to   
   the probable cause statement. Byers told police he shot the man in the   
   head "because he was abusing fentanyl, which he did not like since   
   [Byers'] brother abused the drug too," the statement says. Byers allegedly   
   told police that the victim "was not armed and was not a threat to him"   
   and that he got on a bus after the killing.   
      
   The deceased victims in Mesa, 19 miles southeast of Phoenix, are a 41-   
   year-old man who was found dead around 10:30 p.m. Friday at Beverly Park;   
   another 41-year-old man, who was found dead around 1 a.m. Saturday outside   
   a bus station on South Country Club Road, about a mile southeast of the   
   park; and someone police believe is an adult man whom they found around 2   
   a.m. Saturday on South Extension Road, less than three-quarters of a mile   
   southeast of Beverly Park, police said in a news release.   
      
   The victims haven't been publicly identified.   
      
   According to the probable cause statement, Byers told detectives the 41-   
   year-old man found dead in Beverly Park "was talking about blues so he   
   shot him in the head," the probable cause statement says. "Blues" is a   
   nickname for counterfeit opioid pills that contain fentanyl.   
      
   Byers shot the 41-year-old man found dead on South Country Club Road in   
   the head because he "wanted to smoke blues" while Byers "wanted to smoke   
   weed," according to the probable cause statement, which adds that the men   
   met riding the light rail transit system.   
      
   Byers allegedly told police he shot the person believed to be a man found   
   on South Extension Road in the head after they met walking on the railroad   
   tracks because "he was homeless and not from around here." When the victim   
   fell down a nearby hill, Byers "followed him to continue shooting him,"   
   the probable cause statement alleges.   
      
   Byers also told police he didn't call for medical aid for any of the   
   victims because he believed they didn't deserve it, the probable cause   
   statement says.   
      
   Officers saw Byers on security video taken from multiple cameras,   
   including a residential Ring camera and a camera on the light rail system,   
   police said. The video depicted Byers “in all the videos, wearing the same   
   clothing as reported by witnesses at the time of the shootings,” police   
   said.   
      
   Officers also linked spent shell cases found at "most of the shooting   
   scenes" to the same handgun using the National Integrated Ballistic   
   Information Network, a national database run by the Bureau of Alcohol,   
   Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.   
      
   Police arrested Byers near his Mesa home on a misdemeanor charge of   
   trespassing on railroad tracks, George said.
