A San Bernardino County man wanted in connection with a deadly shooting in early September was arrested in Arizona over the weekend. 

Deputies were dispatched to the Klickitat Avenue and Quinnault Road at around 3:15 a.m. back on Sept. 2 after learning of a shooting in the area, according to a statement from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. 

They arrived and found a man, since identified as 39-year-old Oro Grande man Jonathan Cuevas, suffering from a gunshot wound inside of a car. 

He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was later declared dead. 

After some investigation, detectives were able to identify the suspect as 35-year-old Anthony Lopez. They learned that Cuevas had arrived in the area to pick up a friend when he was shot by Lopez, who fled the scene and remained outstanding until the weekend. 

He was located in Bullhead, Arizona at around 7 p.m. on Sept. 6, where was arrested by U.S. Marshall's Fugitive Task Force officers. He was booked into the Mohave County Jail in Arizona, where he awaits extradition.
