A man wanted in Puerto Rico on a first-degree murder charge was arrested Monday morning in

Buffalo, when three police agencies teamed up to find him hiding under a bed on Spaulding

Street, the state police reported.

Alejandro Tirado-Diaz, 27, was taken to the Erie County Holding Center, where he's being

held as a fugitive from justice.

Authorities in Puerto Rico last week contacted state police for help in locating

Tirado-Diaz after they learned he had been arrested in Buffalo last September. Buffalo police

then developed information about where Tirado-Diaz might be staying.

Tirado-Diaz is accused of shooting two young men, one fatally, in 2007. He was arrested in

Puerto Rico but subsequently jumped bail, state police reported.

The arrest Monday was made by the state police Violent Felony Warrant Squad, the U.S.

Marshals Service and Buffalo police.
