Roger Aleman Garcia was taken into custody at about 1:30 a.m. at a home in Lathrop, authorities said. Livermore police and the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department SWAT Team arrested Garcia without incident after serving a search warrant on the home.

Police said Garcia shot and killed Antonio Vargas, 28, at Livermore's Granada Bowl on Railroad Avenue on Saturday during a fight. He's also accused of shooting two other victims, both of whom escaped with non-life-threatening injuries. One of those victims was reportedly a friend of Vargas.

Vargas died at the scene.

"We want to thank the community for their support and assistance with the investigation," Livermore Police Chief Jeramy Young said in a statement. "From the beginning, our team has worked tirelessly to find the suspect and bring justice to the victim's family."

Garcia has been booked at the Santa Rita Jail for murder and "several other charges," police added.
