(KAIR)--A man suspected of involvement in a fatal April Saint Joseph, Missouri shooting has been located.
KQ2-TV reports Xavier Lopez was arrested in Fort Smith, Arkansas late last week, taken into custody following what the TV station calls “a short foot pursuit during which Lopez brandished a handgun and threw it into a ditch while running from officers.”
Saint Joseph Police have been working with the United States Marshals Service to locate Lopez, who was wanted on two Buchanan County, Missouri warrants, one for unlawful use of a weapon, and another for second degree murder. That second charge was filed in connection with the shooting death of 17-year-old Brayden Hendrix.
Lopez now awaits extradition to Missouri.
