Huntington Beach police detectives have arrested a 35-year-old Diamond Bar man suspected of involvement in the May 31 murder of a traveling nurse found dead inside a local residence.
Christopher Mendez, 35, was detained Friday at an undisclosed location near the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a Huntington Beach police news release issued Monday.
Detectives collaborated with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the state department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security and the U.S. Consulate General in Tijuana to locate Mendez, who was apprehended Friday at around 5:30 p.m. while trying to reenter the U.S. from Mexico, according to police.
