YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The attorney for one of the two twin brothers charged in connection to the murder of a 15-year-old Yuma boy is revaluating his defense after new DNA evidence has come to light in the case.

23-year-old Adrian Perez-Arzola, along with his twin brother David, is charged with pre-meditated first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, along with aggravated assault in the killing of a 15-year-old boy back in May 2022.

His defense is looking towards having an expert review the new DNA evidence before setting trial dates.

Perez-Arzola will be back in court in July.

His brother, David, will have his next court appearance on May 23.
