TULSA, Oklahoma – A man wanted for a series of crimes, including a murder in El Salvador and another murder in Maryland, was arrested by Tulsa police Friday night.

Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez was originally wanted for murder in El Salvador before fleeing to the United States

Hernandez arrived in Los Angeles, where he brutally attacked a nine-year-old girl and her mother during a burglary.

He then ended up in Hartford, Maryland, where he killed Rachel Morin, a mother of five, while she was walking along a trail. Police believe Hernandez hid next to the trail Morin was walking on before attacking and killing her and fleeing the state.

On Friday evening, the FBI contacted Tulsa police and informed them that they believed he was in the Tulsa area.

The FBI and Tulsa Police went to a bar near 21st Street and Garnett, found Hernandez sitting at the bar, and arrested him.

According to police, he initially lied about his identity and denied any knowledge of the crimes.

He was later taken to the Tulsa County Jail and is awaiting extradition.

Tulsa Police shared the following statement in part on Facebook.

“This is the culmination of a tremendous effort by multiple agencies across the United States. We are proud of our Tulsa police officers for putting an end to Hernandez’s violent attacks on innocent people.”
