Santa Fe Police Arrest Man Suspected In Aug. 2 Homicide

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Police in Santa Fe say they've arrested a man suspected in a homicide in the city last week. They say 27-year-old Anthony Diaz was taken into custody without incident around noon Wednesday. Police say Diaz was wanted on a warrant for an open count of murder in the death of Santiago Quintana, who was in his 50s. They say the killing occurred Aug. 2 near the railroad tracks on St. Michael's Drive. Police say people passing by the area called to report a fight in progress. The medical examiner's office says Quintana died from blunt force trauma. Police say it'll be up to the district attorney's office to decide if Diaz will face a first-degree murder charge.
