The LAPD has confirmed 51-year-old Alexander Lee Rogers of Longview, Washington, is in custody.
The hunt for the Washington state murder suspect ended Tuesday with Los Angeles Police Department officers arresting Alexander Lee Rogers, after it was reported Monday that his car was found abandoned in Calabasas.
While details of the arrest aren't known at this time, the LAPD has confirmed the 51-year-old Longview, Washington resident is in custody. Rogers is a person of interest in the Aug. 5 murder of Dawn Peters, 64, and the attempted murder of Andrew Peters, 73, according to a Facebook post from the Longview Police Department. Police had warned the public to be on the lookout for Rogers, detailing his vehicle as a 'partially spray-painted black BMW, possibly bearing Washington license plate BNU8712.'Jail records show that Rogers has an extensive and violent criminal history. He was released from prison less than a year ago after nearly two decades behind bars for a 2002 case of burglary and assault, in which he slashed two victims with a machete, police said. This is a developing story.
