PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Boston police say a man wanted in connection to a Philadelphia homicide has been placed under arrest. Wagner Tejeda-Pena was arrested on Thursday around 11:30 p.m. in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Tejeda-Pena went before a judge on Friday.
He's being held without bail in Boston. He's a suspect in two separate stabbing cases there.
