FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) -
A California man has been arrested in a northern Arizona homicide case, authorities said Monday.
Flagstaff police said 28-year-old Andreas McCabe of Susanville has been booked into the Coconino County jail on suspicion of second-degree murder and abandonment/concealment of a dead body.
Police said the name of the victim was being withheld until his relatives can be notified.
It was unclear Monday if McCabe has a lawyer yet.
Police said they were called around 5 a.m. Sunday about an unresponsive man who was seen with McCabe at a Flagstaff motel.
McCabe was questioned and allegedly told police detectives that he invited the victim to his room and strangled him.
Police said a motive isn’t immediately clear and the county medical examiner will determine the victim’s cause of death.
