Bryan Riojas Avila was arrested Saturday morning, hours after he allegedly stabbed and killed a man Friday night.
Shortly after 8 p.m. Feb. 3, officers were flagged down in the 3500 block of N. Elm Street in regards to a man who had been stabbed in the chest at a nearby residence.
The victim—whose identity has not been released—was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries. Police said witnesses identified Avila as the suspect, and through U.S. Marshal resources, detectives were able to track him to a mobile home park in Oklahoma City. Avila was taken into custody without incident, police said, and is awaiting extradition back to Denton.
