GoFundMe Tip Cracks 2017 Arizona Homicide Case, Suspect Arrested

Breaking News: Tip on GoFundMe Leads to Arrest of Suspect in Deadly 2017 Arizona Stabbing A tip sent to a GoFundMe page in September has led to the arrest of Michael Anthony Arredondo, the prime suspect in a deadly 2017 stabbing in Arizona. Arredondo, accused of stabbing Evin Paulos about 30 times, was arrested on October 15 in Mexico and transferred to the custody of the Phoenix police department. He is being held in lieu of $1.5 million bail. The tip, which was sent by a Mexican person, was received by investigators in September and led to a months-long investigation. Arredondo was arrested on October 15 and extradited to the United States. At a news briefing on Monday, Evin Paulos' sister, Eviein, expressed gratitude for the tip that led to her brother's killer being brought to justice. The case began on November 12, 2017, when Evin Paulos was found stabbed to death in a hotel room in Phoenix, Arizona. Despite an initial investigation, no arrests were made until the tip was received on GoFundMe. The platform, which allows users to create fundraising campaigns for various causes, has been credited with helping to bring the case to a close. The immediate impact of the arrest is being felt by the Paulos family, who have been seeking justice for Evin's death for over five years. "We are grateful for the tip that led to the arrest of Michael Arredondo," said Eviein Paulos. "We hope that this brings some closure to our family and that justice is served." The case highlights the importance of community involvement in solving crimes. The tip received on GoFundMe demonstrates the power of social media and online platforms in bringing people together to achieve a common goal. As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. The next steps in the case will involve Arredondo's extradition to the United States, where he will face charges related to Evin Paulos' murder. A trial date has not been set, but it is expected to take place in the coming months. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance and community involvement in solving crimes.
