ARLINGTON, Texas — A suspect connected to a deadly New Year’s Day shooting in West Texas was arrested Thursday morning in Arlington, police said.
According to the Arlington Police Department, officers had been looking for the suspect, Nathaniel Tinner, after being notified Thursday morning that he may be heading to Arlington.

Tinner was arrested without incident, and he was booked into the Arlington City Jail, police said.
Beyond the murder warrant, officials said APD also charged Tinner with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, as well as drug charges, after police found a gun and narcotics while searching him.

Police said one male victim, identified as Quincy Devion Price, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her condition and identity were not immediately released.
Officials say the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office will handle any and all matters related to Tinner’s extradition.
