Detectives were called out to a house in Mesa, Ariz. on Friday morning, arriving on the scene to find Daniel Kresowaty, 25, dead from an apparent gunshot wound. Kresowaty, who had broken into the home, was reported to be acting irrationally and yelling at the residents when he was shot. 

The authorities are also linking Kresowaty to two other scenes after Department of Public Safety officers found a car on fire just down the street from where the home invasion occurred. The car was registered to a home in Gilbert belonging to Kresowaty. When police went to the home, they found the garage door open and a disturbance inside the house. 

The investigation is ongoing and many questions still remain. “It really is, in this case, about as confusing and complicated as it sounds,” said Mesa Detective Steve Berry. Fortunately, the residents who defended themselves were not hurt in this streak of violent behavior.
