Police had been searching for Eric Loc Elvira since the June 21 shooting.
OAKLAND — A man wanted for the killing of a flower delivery person in broad daylight last month has been found in Chicago and arrested, police said.
Police had been searching for Eric Loc Elvira since the June 21 shooting that killed 27-year-old Matheus Gaidos, 27, of Daly City. The shooting happened about 6:30 p.m. in the 400 block of 26th Street near Telegraph Avenue, roughly one block away from Loc Elvira’s residence, police said. Police first identified him publicly June 27 as a person of interest in the case along with a woman. They subsequently issued an arrest warrant for him charging him with murder. Police said they identified the woman and that she no longer was wanted.
In a statment, police said they found Loc Elvira with the help of the U.S. Marshal Service and that they took him into custody safely in Chicago. Loc Elvira was charged and the warrant issued after a former employer saw photos of the person of interest that police released to the media, and identified him from the still, authorities said in court records. Police say he was also tied to the crime by “electronic data” and an inquiry to the DMV.
