San Diego police announced Wednesday they had made an arrest in a decade-old homicide case but released few other details.
Police said they arrested Sonny Estrada, 50, on Friday. He was already in custody in a San Diego jail on an unrelated charge.
According to jail records, Estrada was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday morning on suspicion of making criminal threats and resisting an executive officer, and Wednesday afternoon on the murder charge.
Estrada is accused of fatally shooting 42-year-old Daniel Coriz of San Diego around midnight on May 11, 2014, police Lt. Jud Campbell said in a press release.
Officers were responding to a call of gunshots being fired when they found the victim at a home on Koe Street in the Jamacha-Lomita neighborhood. Coriz suffered a single gunshot wound to his upper torso and died before he could be taken to a hospital, police said.
Campbell said investigators determined two people approached the victim, with one firing several rounds. The suspects were both wearing black bandannas on their faces.
Police did not say if the second suspect has been identified or is still being sought.
“I can’t really expand too much right now on the investigation, other than to say it took a lot of police work and dedication,” Campbell said in an email.
Anyone with information regarding the case was asked to call the Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
