From FOX 10 News



PHOENIX – A 59-year-old Vietnam veteran was killed earlier this month when a group of men broke into his home near 51st Ave and Indian School Road. Police have now made several arrests in the case.











Vincent Griego, Ricardo Martinez, and Rafael Machado are part of a violent home invasion crew.


Three men are now behind bars, facing charges of murder, armed robbery, and kidnapping.



Our cameras were there as one of the suspects, Vincent Griego, was taken into custody near 11th Avenue and Apache.



Police say the Griego, Ricardo Martinez, and Rafael Machado are part of a violent home invasion crew.



According to court paperwork, the suspects broke into the home and shot and killed 59-year-old Enrique Montes on Oct. 1.



Carol Montes says she woke up to someone kicking in the bedroom door to her home.



“That second kick opened the door and there was a shotgun in my face,” said Carol, Enrique’s widow.



Carol says her husband fought one man off then went to confront a second man who was in the hallway questioning their grandson about drugs.



“My husband walked up, said ‘I told you there’s no drugs, no money,’ that person right there turned, shot him once, and ran.”
