Detectives with the Washoe County Sheriff's Office have identified and arrested Manuel Lopez-Gomez in connection with a homicide that occurred in Incline Village on April 10.

The investigation began last Thursday, when deputies were dispatched to a home in Incline Village for a report of a deceased person.

"On April 10th deputies were dispatched to Incline Village for a deceased person," said Deputy Cade Goodman, Public Information Officer for the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office. "Upon arrival and entering the residence they located a deceased female. Detectives were notified and they arrived on scene and took over the investigation. Through their investigation a suspect was identified."

Following the identification, a description of Lopez-Gomez, his car, and his last known direction of travel was distributed to surrounding law enforcement agencies.

According to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office in an online Facebook Post, The California Highway Patrol located and stopped Lopez-Gomez in Kern County, California, where he was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Kern County Jail.

On April 16, Lopez-Gomez was extradited to Nevada and booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility on a charge of Open Murder.

"He is now being extradited today to our custody in the Washoe County Detention Facility where he's being booked for open murder," Goodman added.

Our news crew was on the scene as detectives escorted Lopez-Gomez into the Washoe County Detention Facility, where he was officially booked.

The identity of the female victim has not yet been released, and authorities have not disclosed any further details about the circumstances surrounding her death.
