Reno Police say they arrested a wanted suspect after a standoff at a Motel 6 on Thursday night.
Around 5:30 p.m., regional officers located the wanted person at Motel 6 on Wells Avenue and 9th Street.Â
SWAT teams executed a search warrant at the Motel 6 where the suspect was barricaded and at 9:30 p.m. took him into custody. Nobody was injured.
Police arrested Hector Arreola and booked him in the Washoe County Jail on two charges including being a fugitive from another state.Â
The Regional Gang Unit with the Reno Police Department says they were notified that Arreola was wanted in a homicide case in California.Â
Last night at the scene, Reno Police did flee and conduct a traffic stop nearby, at Sixth and Sutro Streets.Â
RPD says the car that was pulled over was related to the case, but due to a lack of technology, this was the second time the car was pulled over in relation to the case.
Lieutenant Carney tells us that the initial traffic stop had provided Reno officers with the information needed to know the wanted suspect was located at Motel 6.Â
During the second stop, it was realized that the car didn't need to again be pulled over and the occupants were therefore released.
Fresno Police say Arreola is a suspect in a shooting that killed 41-year-old Dominique Bustamante in July.Â
A combined effort from the Repeat Offender Program, Regional Crime Suppression Unit, NNRIC Detectives, Reno and Sparks Patrol Divisions, US Marshals, Fresno Police Department, and Reno Police Department SWAT assisted in the arrest.Â
Reno Police say the investigation is ongoing.Â
