Phoenix police Saturday found the body of a man they say was killed by his boyfriend.
Damon Lancaster, 37, was found dead about 4 p.m. inside his house in the 1300 block of North 30th Drive. Police believe Lancaster’s boyfriend, 25-year-old Christopher Armendariz, killed him on Friday. Police located Armendariz near the scene and arrested him.
“Investigators believe that Armendariz and Lancaster got into a domestic- violence-related physical altercation, which caused the death of Lancaster,” said a news release from Sgt. Tommy Thompson, a police spokesman. “The actual cause of death will be determined by the Maricopa Medical Examiner’s Office.”
Armendariz was booked into the Maricopa County jail in downtown Phoenix.
