A suspect linked to an unsolved murder in south San Diego was arrested in Mexico Friday, more than 10 years after the cold case killing.
The San Diego Police Department (SDPD) said Guillermo Gonzalez-Nunez, 41, was taken into custody by Mexican authorities and turned over to U.S. Marshals and the San Diego Fugitive Task Force.
He’s a suspect in the April 3, 2006, murder of Willie Clark Jr., who was shot and killed at the La Vuelta Bar in the 700 block of Hollister Street in south San Diego.
Gonzalez-Nunez was booked into San Diego Central Jail for one count of murder, one count of attempted murder and two counts of assault with a semi-automatic weapon in the crime that took place a decade ago.
According to cold case homicide detectives, Gonzalez-Nunez and Clark got into some sort of disagreement at the La Vuelta Bar.
Clark was shot to death by the suspect, police said, while another victim was beaten with a gun. Several other bar patrons were assaulted that night in this fight as well, according to investigators.
Gonzalez-Nunez was identified as the suspect Clark’s killing but he was believed to have fled to Mexico. An arrest warrant was issued for him.
