FAIRFIELD, Ohio — One suspect has been arrested and a second remains at large in connection with last month's robbery and fatal shooting at Everest Jewels in Fairfield. Police announced Friday that Carlos Idrogo-Arias was arrested November 4 in New York City with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service. He remains in custody in New York awaiting extradition to Ohio. Police are still searching for Richard Guzman-Guzman, who is believed to be in the New York-New Jersey area. Investigators warn that he should be considered armed and dangerous. The robbery occurred shortly before 1 p.m. on October 20, when two men entered Everest Jewels and began talking with store owner Tara Sinchuri, apparently pretending to make a purchase. Police say the men then pulled firearms, and a struggle followed. Sinchuri was killed during the confrontation. The suspects stole valuables from the store before fleeing. Investigators say they identified a possible getaway vehicle using the department's Flock automated license plate reader system. That information, combined with surveillance video from the business, helped police identify the suspects and obtain arrest warrants. The investigation has involved assistance from the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the U.S. Marshals Service. Police urge anyone who sees Guzman-Guzman not to approach him, but to contact law enforcement immediately. Anyone with information about the suspects or the investigation is asked to contact Fairfield Police or their local law enforcement agency.
