Sheriff Margaret Mims say Lopez is responsible for the murder of 36 year old Jose Gallegos. A Fresno county farm worker found Gallegos' body inside a burned out SUV near Kerman Monday morning.
The sheriff says Lopez owed the victim money after Lopez bought a car from him. They'd apparently been fighting for months about the unpaid debt.
Lopez is being held in the Fresno County Jail on murder and arson charges.
