(UPDATE: 4:26 p.m.) Police have arrested three men in connection with the murder of Todd Tipton.
Officers say 18-year-old Andrew Hall, 18-year-old Derek Balint and 18-year-old Stephon Jordan are now facing charges. All three are charged with Murder with a Deadly Weapon, Robbery with a Deadly Weapon, Burglary with a Deadly Weapon and Conspiracy.
The woman originally sought as a person of interest was identified and located but detectives are not connecting her with the case.
On Monday police say they found a man shot in the head in his own home. Now we're learning that the victim's wife was the one who discovered her husband murdered.
'Eric', a neighbor who did not want to share his last name said, "I'm kind of terrified. You know you don't see this type of thing happen in my neighborhood."
'Eric' tells us it will be a long time before this Northwest Valley community off of Cheyenne and El Capitan returns to normal.
"I'm going to protect myself," he said.
Home surveillance cameras caught the teens wandering outside the murder victim's neighborhood.
Jason Chapman lives in the neighborhood.
"This is a no outlet area so if you are here you are here for a reason -- either visiting or living," he told News 3.
The coroner's office identified the victim as 50-year old Todd Tipton. Neighbors say Tipton was a disabled construction contractor.
"He kept to himself. He seemed like a nice guy. General individual I don't know if he worked of disabled," said 'Eric'.
