Police have arrested and charged a man with the murder of Dimas Fuentes-Lazo this April.

Christian Romero, 23, has been charged with second-degree murder while armed for the fatal stabbing of Fuentes-Lazo. Romero has not yet been presented in court.

Last month, police announced the arrest of Francisco Daniel Ayala, also 23, for Fuentes-Lazo’s death, but according to court documents, those charges were dropped.

According to police, Fuentes-Lazo, 38, was found suffering from stab wounds on the night of April 23, and died at the hospital.
