He is suspected of being one of two assailants responsible for the Aug. 29 death of Felix Garduno-Vega. Garduno-Vega, 21, was fatally shot in the driveway of an apartment complex in the 400 block of Oak Avenue in Half Moon Bay, according to the sheriff’s office.

On Sept. 1, the sheriff’s office reported the arrest of an initial suspect, identified as 35-year-old Hayward resident Armando Carranza, after he surrendered to deputies. Following an investigation, Arroyo, a Redwood City resident, was tracked and arrested by sheriff’s detectives on Sept. 8 in Ivanhoe in Tulare County. Both suspects have been booked into the Maguire Correctional Facility without bail.
