The Arizona Department of Public Safety and the nearby city of Scottsdale dispatched Swat teams and canine units to assist local authorities. The suspect was taken into custody at 13:09 local time (20:09 GMT), according to Esteban Flores, a spokesman for the Mesa Police Department.
The FBI said it was also providing support to investigators. Authorities spotted the man on the balcony of a vacant condominium, and the Mesa Swat team used a Taser to subdue him.
Around 8:40 local time (15:40 GMT) dispatchers received an emergency call about an incident at a motel. Video from a local news helicopter showed the suspect being led away from the building and into a car by police.
When they arrived at the scene, they found one man and two women who had been shot. The man died at the scene. "We believe he is responsible for each and every one of these shootings," Mr Flores told reporters when the arrest was announced.
While first responders were tending to the victims, they received another call requesting their help at nearby restaurant run by students. One of his victims remains in a critical condition.
Mr Flores did not detail the suspect's motive, but said that the shootings began with an altercation at a motel. The subsequent shootings were either random or done in an attempt to flee, he said.
The suspect's name and photo are not being released because investigators are still interviewing witnesses.
