Mesa Man Arrested for Murder

On November 6, 2022, around 6:10 a.m., Mesa Police Officers responded to 7520 E. Billings in response to a 911 caller saying they found their friend dead. When officers arrived, they located the body of 36-year-old Deangelo Tye lying in the outside landscaping. Officers saw drag marks in the landscaping that lead to a blood trail, which they followed to an upstairs apartment. 

At least two people reported to officers that they heard shots fired in the complex around 3:00 a.m. During the investigation, officers located a personal surveillance camera, which captured Deangelo and 30-year-old Michael Binion-Jones, walking to an upstairs apartment. Ten minutes later, the camera captured a lifeless Deangelo being dragged down the stairs and out of view by Binion-Jones. 

Michael Binion-Jones was located and taken into custody on November 7, 2022, in Tempe. He was booked into jail for the following charges and held on a $1,000,000 bond: 

ARS 13-1104.A3; Second Degree Murder, a class one felony.
