A man wanted for murder in Rhode Island has been arrested in Salt Lake City, Utah, after an extensive international manhunt involving Interpol and local law enforcement.
The suspect, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, was tracked down by authorities following a tip-off from the public. He had been on the run for several months, evading capture across multiple states before finally being apprehended in Utah.
International Cooperation Leads to Arrest
The arrest was the result of a coordinated effort between the Salt Lake City Police Department, Rhode Island authorities, and Interpol. The fugitive was wanted in connection with a violent crime in Rhode Island, though further details of the case remain under investigation.
"This arrest demonstrates the power of international collaboration in bringing dangerous criminals to justice," a spokesperson for Interpol stated.
Public Tip-Off Crucial in Capture
Authorities credited an anonymous tip from a member of the public as the breakthrough that led to the fugitive's location. Police have urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
"We are grateful for the community's support in helping us apprehend this individual," said a Salt Lake City Police representative.
The suspect is currently awaiting extradition to Rhode Island to face charges.
