A 36-year-old man suspected of fatally shooting another man who lived on the same Galt-area property last year has been arrested in British Columbia.
Arthur Charles Carnes was arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Friday in Langley, about 10 miles north of the U.S.-Canadian border, according to a Sacramento County Sheriff's Department news release. Carnes was arrested on an immigration warrant and, following a deportation hearing, will be handed over to sheriff's detectives, authorities said.
He faces murder and identity-theft charges in Sacramento, authorities said.
Carnes is suspected in the killing of 41-year-old Matthew Seybert, whose body was found in Laguna Creek on Dec. 8, officials said. Seybert had been missing for more than three weeks when his body was found.
According to sheriff's investigators, Carnes had been using Seybert's ATM card. Detectives thought Carnes may have returned to the Sacramento area earlier this month, but an investigation by the Canadian Mounties and the local sheriff's major crimes bureau led authorities to a home in Langley, where Carnes was arrested without incident, according to the sheriff's news release.
