SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, Calif. — The FBI announced Friday that law enforcement officers arrested a man in connection to a deadly shooting of a man at a Tracy dairy farm in 1998.
Moises Galvan Gonzalez, and his brother Josue, were kicked out of a party after an argument on June 15, 1998, according to the San Joaquin District Attorney Tori Verber Salazar.
The brothers returned to the farm later that day, and Josue shot Alfonso Vargas, 22, with a shotgun, the DA said. Moises, 41, fled to Mexico to flee a murder prosecution in San Joaquin County, Verber Salazar said.
He was arrested on Thursday at a home in Delhi, a town in Merced County, according to the FBI.
Josue was arrested in 2005 and prosecuted in Mexico following an agreement by San Joaquin County and the Mexican government.
The San Joaquin County District Attorney filed a homicide charge against Moises a few months after the alleged homicide. A federal warrant was issued against Moises for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution on Oct. 1, 2003.
