Mark Mechikoff, 39, is accused of stabbing a woman to death, then posting a video of the slaying on Facebook, authorities said.
The footage helped police track down the suspect, who was later identified as 39-year-old Mark Mechikoff. He was arrested about 30 miles south of where the victim was found dead in a San Mateo apartment complex.
Prosecutors identified the victim as Claribel Estrella. The San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office on Friday charged Mechikoff with a single count of murder with enhancements for inflicting great bodily injury and the use of a knife. His arraignment was scheduled for Friday afternoon, where an attorney will be appointed to represent him, DA Stephen Wagstaffe said in an email.
