DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Two teenagers wanted for questioning in the slaying of an 18-year-old man in Oklahoma were taken into custody Wednesday in Daytona Beach.
Robert Firethunder, 18, was caught outside an apartment, police said. His companion, Ruby Lizarraga, 16, was taken into custody after she fled a traffic stop, Police Chief Craig Capri said.
Capri said police received information Wednesday about Firethunder's possible location. A SWAT team took him into custody without incident as he approached an apartment.
His companion had been declared a missing person by authorities in Creek County, Oklahoma. Both are persons of interest in the slaying of Nicholas Martinez, authorities said.
Firethunder has outstanding warrants for firearm and DUI charges out of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and is awaiting extradition.
