GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Glendale police say an incarcerated man in Pennsylvania is accused of fatally shooting a man west of Phoenix four months ago.

They say 24-year-old Gustin Ray Woodman of Glendale has been indicted for first-degree murder in the death of Mark Woodruff during a robbery attempt.

They say Woodman will be extradited to Arizona to face charges.



Authorities say he recently was arrested in a robbery case in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

The 72-year-old Woodruff was found shot in his car on June 24 and later pronounced dead.

He worked as a night custodian at a Phoenix church.

Police say Woodman was pulled over for a traffic violation two days after the killing and was in possession of a handgun that was seized.

Tests later tied the gun to the fatal shooting.
