Two retired friends were killed during a reported home invasion in Sun City Grand, Surprise, Arizona. Ruth Schwed, 75 and a resident of New Mexico, was visiting 70-year-old Barbara Leslie at Leslie’s home on West Agua Linda Lane when both women were found shot to death after relatives raised the alarm following several days without contact.

Police say intruders entered through an open garage door and that the violence appeared to stem from a robbery. Investigators recovered a cell phone at the scene that did not belong to the victims and found roughly $23,000 in charges on Schwed’s debit card after the killings. Two suspects were identified and arrested: Andrew Thomas Lauro, 24, and Montez Lavell Wright III, 23. Lauro reportedly told police Wright shot both women and named a woman who had been with them earlier; authorities were still examining her role.

Does anyone have information about activity near West Agua Linda Lane or about the three people described around the time of the killings?
