The lone survivor of a home invasion told a Pima County Sheriff's investigator a man she saw partially inside her Arivaca (ayr-uh-VAH'-kuh) home sounded like and matched the build of one of three now-arrested suspects.

Deputies arrested 42-year-old Albert Robert Gaxiola shortly after the May 30 invasion in the small rural southern Arizona town that killed Gina Gonzalez's 9-year-old daughter and her husband and left her shot three times.

The information was contained in sheriff's incident reports released Wednesday.

The reports say Gonzalez said Gaxiola and her husband had a previous dispute.

Gaxiola, another man and a Washington state woman who led a small border watch group were indicted this week on charges including first-degree murder.
