While trying to flee Pinal County, three illegal immigrants drowned in a canal near Casa Grande, Pinal County. Police rescued 4 other poeple from the canal about 3 miles south of Interstate 8. A deputy, Russell Warren, noticed that there was a vehicle traveling with its headlights off on Interstate 8 at about 6 a.m on Friday, and then a high-speed chase occured. When the vehicle stopped near the canal, Warren said he saw many people start to run. Warren then began to hear yelling and shouting coming from the canal, and he noticed people who couldn't seem to swim. He then removed his gear and jumped into the canal, trying to save the victims. For some of the victims however, the water undercurrent was too strong which made it not safe for rescuers to enter the canal and save the remaining people. Afterword, 5 illegal immigrants and other rescued victims were turned over the the US border patrol.
