PHOENIX AZ Aug 31 2010 – Police have arrested a suspect they say killed a man by throwing him from the 4th floor of a parking garage in Phoenix over a week ago.

Phoenix police say a security guard found Javier Barajas-Caperon, 37, just after 4 a.m. in an alley north of 2nd and Washington streets on August 21st.

Barajas-Caperon was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Phoenix Police Sergeant Trent Crump said Monday that 36-year-old Michael Velasquez has been arrested and is being held on a warrant in New Mexico for 2nd degree murder.

The two men reportedly met a couple days before the murder.

They got into an argument in the parking structure when Velasquez allegedly pushed Barajas off the side and he fell to his death in the alley.
