A man suspected in the death of a woman who was fatally bludgeoned in a New York City hotel room earlier this month has been arrested in Arizona. The suspect, identified as a 26-year-old male, is also a suspect in two recent stabbings in the state.
New York City police officials announced at a news conference that they are seeking to extradite and arrest the suspect in connection with the killing of a 38-year-old woman, Denisse Oleas-Arancibia. The victim was found by hotel staff on the floor of a lower Manhattan hotel room on February 8, with her death attributed to blunt force trauma to the head.
