A traffic stop Wednesday morning netted Tucson police the suspect in a Friday homicide.
An officer on patrol pulled over a vehicle in the area of West Kelso Street and North Castro Avenue, said Sgt. Pete Dugan, a spokesman for the Tucson Police Department.
During the stop, the officer realized the driver was 18-year-old Madison Michael Molina, who was wanted on a felony warrant in connection to a north-side shooting death Friday, Dugan said.
Molina was booked into the Pima County jail and faces a charge of first-degree murder.
He is suspected of shooting Diego Valdez, 30, last Friday morning in front of a business in the 700 block of East Fort Lowell Road, near North First Avenue. Valdez later died at a hospital.
The traffic stop where Molia was arrested was in the same area as the shooting.
