Lorenzi was charged with one felony count for 1st-degree homicide, if convicted, Lorenzi is facing life in prison.

Lorenzi was placed into custody by Chicago police when he arrived at the O'Hara International Airport from San Diego, according to Chicago police.

Lorenzi had fled Chicago shortly after killing Arzuaga and a felony murder warrant was issued after tips led authorities to identify him as the murder suspect. The U.S. Marshals Service arrested Lorenzi in San Diego.

Arzuaga was fatally shot by Lorenzi when the victim attempted to protect his girlfriend Yasmin Nicole Perez, 25, who was pulled from the driver's side of the vehicle by multiple suspects and began to beat her. Arzuaga fired a shot from inside the vehicle and accidentally striking Perez in the neck, according to police. 

Arzuaga died shortly after getting shot in the head by Lorenzi and Perez died a few days later at a local hospital in Chicago.
