Man wanted for New Jersey slaying arrested here by U.S. Marshals Office, local agencies
Live Oak — Local law enforcement agencies helped capture a wanted homicide fugitive late Monday afternoon at a car wash in Live Oak, the U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force reported.
Arnaldo Medina, 28, was wanted by the Camden County, New Jersey Sheriff's Office for homicide. A warrant was issued on April 7, 2012. New Jersey investigators determined Medina shot and killed one victim and shot and injured a second victim during an apparent gang-related altercation. New Jersey investigators determined Medina likely fled to Florida after the shooting. During the fugitive investigation, members of the U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force obtained information that Medina was hiding in Live Oak.
Suwannee County Sheriff Tony Cameron said Medina had been in Live Oak for only a few days and was working at a car wash near the intersection of Walker Avenue and Howard Street "trying to make a living."
Cameron and other members of the SCSO as well as Live Oak Police Chief Buddy Williams and some of his deputies and the U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force located and arrested Medina at the car wash.
"We went out, laid eyes on him. We all took him down and arrested him without incident," said Cameron. "It was a good day, it all came together. We were able to get this person off our streets."
Medina is being held in the Suwannee County Jail.
"This is another example of how all our law enforcement agencies work together and in harmony," said Williams.
Other agencies involved included the Columbia County Sheriff's Office and the Gainesville Police Department.
