SAN DIEGO, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Authorities in San Diego said Tuesday they arrested a New Jersey man wanted for allegedly hurling his 2-year-old daughter to her death in a river.
Arthur Morgan III, 27, was arrested in San Diego Tuesday afternoon by a fugitive task force acting on information they received from New Jersey authorities.
U.S. Marshals Service spokesman Omar Castillo told KGTV-TV, San Diego, that New Jersey investigators learned Morgan had friends in San Diego's City Heights area and was staying with them.
Morgan, who was apprehended without incident, is wanted in the death of Tierra Morgan-Glover, whose body was found strapped in a car seat in the Shark River in Monmouth County Nov. 22.
Morgan had picked the girl up from her mother the previous day for a court-approved visit. Her mom, Imani Benton, called police after Morgan and her daughter failed to return.
