Phoenix (AP) — An Arizona man was sentenced to life prison on Monday to kill three Phoenix apartments.
Chase Scott Christman, 31, of Mesa, had previously pleaded guilty to murder and robbery charges that were killed in July 2024, 27; Anthony Frederickson Ceccarelli, 25; and Samuel Lott, 37.
Prosecutors said Christman went to an apartment in Phoenix's Alvatok area to get drugs and steal money.
RJ Parker, the attorney representing Christman, did not call back from the Associated Press.
The body was found by firefighters who responded to the fire in the apartment. Authorities said the bodies and apartments were not seriously damaged in the fire.
Neighbors told investigators that they heard screams from the apartment. Police said one victim was fatally stabbed, another was shot and another was shot.
Authorities say the victims may have fought back in the violent attack, and Chrisman cut his hands when he was arrested. The blood found in the apartment matched Christman's DNA, prosecutors said.
