A first-degree murder arrest warrant has been issued for 22-year-old Anibal Cordova in connection with the shooting death of Alexis Nunez, 18.
Nunez died at an area hospital after being shot near a bus stop on South 12th Avenue near Drexel Road Wednesday afternoon in what authorities say was a gang-related incident.
Police say Nunez saw Cordova sitting at a bus stop and began arguing with him.
Cordova allegedly brandished a handgun and shot Nunez at least once before fleeing the scene on foot.
Investigators are seeking Cordova and urged anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
