Officers also observed a second lifeless victim lying on the floor of an apartment on the 2nd floor of the building. When officers entered the apartment, they also found a dog that sustained a gunshot wound.

Officers cleared the apartment and the area was secured as a crime scene. The initial victim was transported by ambulance to Canyon Vista Medical Center for treatment. The dog was transported by Animal Control Officers for medical treatment but later died.

⚡ SSVEC MEMBERS TO SEE NEW “REST” BILL CREDITS BEGINNING IN JUNE ⚡

Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative (SSVEC) members will soon begin seeing a new line item labeled “REST” on their monthly electric bills — and for many members, it means added relief during the high-cost summer energy season.

According to SSVEC, the Arizona Corporation Commission recently approved the cooperative’s request to eliminate the Renewable Energy Standard Tariff (REST) surcharge and return existing REST funds directly back to members through bill credits and local renewable energy investments.

Beginning with June billing cycles, members will start seeing credits applied through the Wholesale Power and Fuel Cost Adjuster to help offset increased summer electricity costs.

SSVEC says the changes include:

✅ Elimination of the REST fee from member bills✅ Creation of a $2.5 million renewable energy grant program✅ Return of approximately $7 million to members through bill credits

The cooperative says the average residential member is expected to see approximately $10 per month in summer bill savings.

“These funds belong to our members, and we believe the best use of the money is returning it in a way that provides meaningful relief when electricity use is at its highest,” said SSVEC CEO Jason Bowling.

In addition to direct bill relief, SSVEC plans to launch a renewable energy grant program aimed at supporting schools, nonprofits, municipalities, fire districts, and other qualifying organizations across southeastern Arizona. Eligible projects could include solar installations, battery storage systems, and other community-focused renewable energy improvements.

SSVEC officials say the overall plan is designed to balance immediate financial relief for members while continuing to invest in long-term energy reliability and local community projects.

Members are expected to begin seeing the REST credits and related billing adjustments starting with June electric bills and continuing throughout the summer months.

For additional information, members can contact their local SSVEC office or visit SSVEC’s official website.
