LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say a man wanted for killing three people in a Southern California cemetery has been arrested in Wyoming.
Jose Luis Torres Garcia was taken into custody Thursday during a traffic stop in Cheyenne.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department in California has said Garcia acted alone and he knew the three victims. The three men were killed at the same time and found Feb. 17 at the Perris Valley Cemetery east of Los Angeles.
Officials also said they discovered 15 pounds of marijuana in the vehicle when Garcia was stopped.
It was not immediately clear if Garcia had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
