Bloomington police nab suspect in 2009 Indianapolis shooting
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) – Authorities have arrested a fugitive suspected of killing one man and injuring three others in a shooting outside an Indianapolis grocery store more than five years ago.
The Bloomington Police Department says Rosendo Molina-Castro was arrested Tuesday on preliminary charges of murder, carrying a handgun without a license and possession of marijuana.
He’s accused of fatally shooting 24-year-old Jose Avila and injuring three other men in a Sept. 6, 2009, shooting outside Los Compadres Supermarket on Indianapolis’ west side.
Molina-Castro was identified early on as a suspect in the shooting, but it took police nearly six years to find him.
Investigators said they received a tip that helped them locate Molina-Castro in Bloomington.
It wasn’t immediately known if Molina-Castro has an attorney.
He’s being held at the Monroe County Jail.
