CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A man wanted in connection with a deadly shooting in east Charlotte in April was arrested in Virginia and is expected to be extradited to North Carolina, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said.
Justin Carache-Soto, 21, was found dead at a home on Upas Lane, which is just off Albemarle Road near Waverly Lake, on April 12. The case was initially viewed as a death investigation, but detectives later determined Carache-Soto's death to be a homicide.
The FBI arrested a man in connection with the shooting in northern Virginia on May 9. The suspect, 23-year-old Alejandro Jose Sequeira, was charged with murder. CMPD homicide detectives are scheduled to interview Sequeira in Alexandria, Virginia. Extradition to North Carolina is pending, according to CMPD.
