12News says Phoenix police charged Joe Gerardo with first-degree murder in the 2013 killing of Jeffrey Bellemare. Arizona's Family reports the arrest and does not print that charge.

A first-degree murder charge, which 12News attributes to Phoenix police, is not on the Arizona's Family story. 55th Avenue and Clarendon, and 51st Avenue and Indian School Road, are not the same place line. Court records, as 12News describes them, are allegations. An arrest announced Monday is not a plea and not a verdict.

Arizona's Family, by David Baker, published Nov. 9, 2026, at 4:56 p.m. MST, on a page whose update line said seconds ago and did not print a second absolute clock, reported Phoenix police announced Monday that they have identified the suspect in the killing of an unarmed security guard as Joe Gerardo, 43, and that he was arrested in Globe on Nov. 3. It reported detectives had a break in the case this year when they were provided new information about the murder of Jeffrey Bellemare, 59, and that they did not go into detail. 12News, by Kevin Reagan, published at 4:39 p.m. MST on Nov. 9, 2026, and updated at 5:01 p.m. MST, reported an arrest has been made in the 2013 killing. It reported that on Nov. 3, Joe Gerardo, 43, was arrested in Globe for his alleged involvement, that he was booked into the Maricopa County jail, and that he is facing a charge of first-degree murder, Phoenix police said. A charge of first-degree murder, on 12News, is not a sentence on the Arizona's Family story fetched here. That story says police identified a suspect and that he was arrested. It does not print a charge, a jail, or the word alleged. Booked into the Maricopa County jail, on 12News, is not the Globe arrest by itself. Both pages say the arrest in Globe was Nov. 3. Announced Monday, on Arizona's Family, and a story published Monday afternoon, on 12News, are not the same verb.

Arizona's Family reported Bellemare was shot dead at about 1:30 a.m. while working at a Maryvale apartment complex at 55th Avenue and Clarendon Avenue, south of Indian School Road, on Nov. 29, 2013. It reported the family had celebrated Thanksgiving the day before and that he had left for work before dessert. 12News reported he was fatally shot on Nov. 29, 2013, near 51st Avenue and Indian School Road, while working the overnight shift after spending the Thanksgiving holiday with his family. It reported the killing was the day after Thanksgiving. About 1:30 a.m., on Arizona's Family, and an overnight shift, on 12News, are not the same precision. 55th Avenue and Clarendon Avenue, and near 51st Avenue and Indian School Road, are not the same intersection. Maryvale is Arizona's Family. It is not in the 12News text fetched here. Before dessert, on Arizona's Family, and after spending the Thanksgiving holiday, on 12News, are not the same account of when he left. Unarmed is Arizona's Family. 12News does not print that word. 12News reported a witness came forward and helped police identify a suspect. It reported court records show the suspect allegedly had connections to someone who lived at the apartment complex and that Gerardo reportedly owned a vehicle that matched a car seen by witnesses. A witness, a connection, and a vehicle are 12News's account of court records. They are not on the Arizona's Family story, which said detectives did not go into detail. Allegedly, and reportedly, are the words 12News used. They are not findings.

Arizona's Family quoted Bellemare's wife, Karan Bellemare, from 2023, that hearing witnesses heard someone say, "This is what you deserve," before the shots. That quotation is dated 2023 on the page. It is not a statement about Monday's arrest. 12News quoted a Phoenix Police sergeant, not named, from a 2021 interview, that Bellemare was doing his job and did not deserve to be murdered for doing it. That quotation is dated 2021. It is not a statement about Gerardo. Neither page prints a court date, a plea, or a lawyer for Gerardo. Arizona's Family reported it had reached out to Maricopa County Superior Court for documents. 12News is the page that describes court records. A first-degree murder charge is what 12News says Phoenix police reported. It is not a conviction. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
