Eddie Ray Dominguez, 35, was arrested Friday, May 19 around 12 p.m. by a California Department of Corrections Fugitive Apprehension Team in the Arroyo Grande area, police said. He had an outstanding warrant for attempted murder.
The attempted murder occurred in the 200 block of E. Tunnell St. at about 2:15 a.m. May 6, according to the press release.
Dominguez was identified as the suspect during the initial investigation. It’s not clear how or when Dominguez was identified as the suspect.
