(FOX40.COM)-- A guy was arrested Friday for a supposed connection to a July murder, according to the Tracy Cops Department.

Officials reported that at around 9:30 p.m. on July 21 the Tracy Police Department responded to a report of a person shot in the 3000 block of Elsinore Drive. Upon their arrival, patrol officers located two males with harmful gunshot wounds. Both were required to area health centers, however one passed away. The 2nd male is anticipated to endure.

Initial information gotten by private investigators led them to the suspect's home in the 2900 block
of Fairfield Drive. The Tracy PD Crisis Response Unit (SWAT Team, Crisis Negotiation Team
and Tactical Dispatch Team) reacted and served a search warrant at the home. The suspect was not located at the house and due what policed called a "prospective flight risk," the suspect was not identified at the time.

At around 5 p.m. on Friday the Tracy Police Department and the United States Marshals Service, arrested Tracy resident Leopoldo Coria,34, for the alleged murder of Joseph Valles. Coria was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail.
