Irving Martin Verduzco-Armenta is suspected of killing Edgar Najera early Sunday, according to a news release from the Moab Police Department. He was arrested with two other men suspected of helping him evade police.
Officers from the Navajo Nation Police Department on Wednesday received a report of three suspicious men. The officers pursued the vehicle carrying Verduzco-Armenta and two other men, but lost the car on a dirt road near Tuba City, Ariz.
Another officer later spotted the car on the side of a highway and another pursuit began. The chase went on for about 100 miles, according to the news release.
