Teenager arrested in connection with Tulare County murder
Police have arrested a teenager in connection with a murder in the South Valley.

FRESNO, Calif. -- Officers arrived at a home near Chinowith and Whitendale back in August of 2013 where they found 26-year-old Moses Sandoval suffering from gunshot wounds.

Investigators said Sandoval was shot in the middle of the day while sitting in front of his home.

The next year in January the same suspect was identified in a stabbing near Victor and Linwood. The teenager then fled to Mexico after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

However, the now 17-year-old was taken into custody last week by border control agents while attempting to enter the United States. He was booked into the Tulare County jail where he now faces multiple charges.
