Authorities also confiscated a firearm which, according to U.S. Marshals, was the same caliber used in the homicide.
“This is another example of the dedication our task force officers put into every investigation,” said U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott. “This fugitive attempted to evade the reach of the U.S. Marshals Service but was unsuccessful because we will never stop looking for them no matter how far they run.”
Flores was taken to Pinellas County Jail before being extradited to Ohio.
