(FOX40.COM) — After 40 years, the suspected killer in a Roseville alley shooting has been arrested in Southern California, according to the Roseville Police Department.

In 1984, Medline Garcia, 69, was in the 300 block of Atlantic Street in downtown Roseville when she was attacked, dragged into an alley and killed.

After exhausting all leads and with the withdrawal of all investigators and detectives, the investigation into Garcia's death was abandoned.

Placer County District Attorney investigators joined the case thanks to advances in forensic technology and were able to obtain promising results on decades-old evidence.

Forensic evidence revealed that the suspect in Garcia's murder was Richard Moore of Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Police Department officers helped arrest Moore and took him into custody where he faces charges related to homicide.

According to the Roseville Police Department, Moore will be transported to Placer County for further arraignment at a later date.
