Troopers from the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and members of the United States Marshals Service on Wednesday located and apprehended an Indiana man wanted for the Dec. 21, 2021 homicide of his girlfriend.
According to Dave Procopio of Massachusetts State Police, MSP VFAS Troopers and Deputy Marshals located Alexander Ortiz, 36, of Anderson, Indiana, parked in a rest stop on Route 95 south in Newton at approximately 7 a.m. Wednesday.
