Pueblo police arrested a man Friday they say may have been involved in the shooting of a Pueblo man in mid-July.
Detectives located 20-year-old Jesus Arturo Benavidez at a swim beach at the Pueblo Reservoir at around 5 p.m. and arrested him on a warrant for second-degree murder, they said.
That warrant was obtained by detectives with the police department’s Crimes Against Persons unit, after an investigation into the fatal shooting of Roque Marquez Jr. near 29th street and Interstate 25.
