Police make arrest in connection with Saco shooting that injured woman

When officers arrived at the scene Tuesday morning, they discovered a woman suffering from a gunshot wound.

SACO, Maine — A Biddeford woman was arrested Friday in connection with a shooting Tuesday in Saco that injured another woman.

At about 7:45 a.m. Tuesday, Saco police responded to reports of shots fired in the area of 103 Temple Street, Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss said in a news release Tuesday.

When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered a woman suffering from a gunshot wound.

In an updated release Friday, Moss said Maine State Police detectives obtained an arrest warrant Wednesday for 18-year-old Ariana Tito of Biddeford for the "attempted murder and elevated aggravated assault" of 32-year-old Kayla Grant of Saco who was the woman shot Tuesday.

Throughout the week, detectives with the Maine State Police, Massachusetts State Police, Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and police departments from Old Orchard Beach, New York City, Saco, and Biddeford worked to locate Tito.

Task force agents with the FBI located Tito in Brooklyn, New York on Friday where they took her into custody, Moss said.

Tito was taken to Rikers Island and will make her initial court appearance in Brooklyn where extradition to Maine will be determined, according to Moss.

Grant remains hospitalized in "critical but stable condition," the release stated Friday.
