Toronto police said they arrested a foreign fugitive suspected of murder and kidnapping in the United States.
The Toronto Police Fugitive Squad, along with members of the 23 Division Major Crime Unit and Canada Border Services Agency members made the arrest on Friday.
After receiving a call from a woman who said she saw a suspect featured on the America's Most Wanted website, police launched an investigation. They located the suspect at a Rexdale-area apartment.
Mikhail Drachev, 24, was arrested. He is being held by the Canada Border Services Agency.
It is alleged that Drachev was involved in the 2001 murder of Konstantin Simberg, 21, in Arizona.
A written statement from Toronto police said that Simberg was a police informant who was "doused with an accelerant, stabbed in the back and ultimately died from his injuries."
Police said that two other men who were allegedly involved in the attack on Simberg were captured.
