A 19-year-old man wanted in connection with a murder Thursday in Colorado Springs was arrested late last night in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Police identified the suspect as Mark Jonathan Walden, who is suspected of fatally shooting Jonathan Frazier, 21,.
Frazier was found dead in the parking lot at 4225 Airport Road after police went to the area on reports of gunfire.
Authorities investigated and identified Walden as a suspect.
Colorado Springs police discovered that Walden had purchased a bus ticket to Grand Rapids, Mich., under another name.
The bus line confirmed Walden had boarded the Michigan-bound bus, police said in a news release.
At about 11 p.m. Tuesday, members of the FBI’s Violent Crimes Fugitive Task Force and the Grand Rapids Police Department arrested Walden when he arrived in Grand Rapids.
In addition to being wanted for Frazier’s murder, Walden also was wanted in Michigan on a probation violation and a felony narcotics warrant.
A detective from Colorado Springs is in Michigan and is expected to return with Walden to Colorado.
