TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A suspect in a Tucson homicide case last year is in custody after being arrested in Mexico, authorities said.
Pima County Sheriff’s officials said 27-year-old Brian Altland has been booked into the Pima County jail on suspicion of first-degree murder.
They said Altland was arrested last Saturday in Caborca, Sonora through a coordinated effort between the U.S. Marshals Service and Mexican authorities.
Sheriff’s officials said deputies responded to a report of a man down in Tucson on Nov. 18.
Upon arrival, deputies said man was dead at the scene and had obvious signs of trauma.
The victim was subsequently identified as 46-year-old Eric Duncan McCormick.
A possible motive for the killing hasn’t been released and it was unclear Tuesday if Altland has a lawyer who can speak on his behalf.
