An investigation in the whereabouts of the suspect wanted in the double homicide on S. Reynolds Street has led to his arrest in New York last night.  Alexandria detectives worked in conjunction with the United States Marshals Service (USMS) and New York Police Department (NYPD) to arrest Simon Bahta Asfeha, 34, of Alexandria.

On April 29, NYPD received a tip on where Asefha was staying.  USMS and NYPD located the suspect and took him into custody without incident.  Asfeha was wanted for murder in the deaths of Seble G.

On April 11, at approximately 10:00 A.M., police were called to the 300 block of S.

“This suspect was found because of the tireless efforts of our detectives and the cooperative efforts of the United States Marshals Service and the New York Police Department,” said Alexandria Police Chief Earl L.
