NEWARK -- A man wanted on murder charges in the Dominican Republic was arrested last week at an apartment in the Hackensack area, immigration officials said.

Kelbin Perez De Los Santos, 35, had been sought by Dominican authorities for allegedly shooting someone to death with a shotgun after a dispute in a restaurant in Los Girasoles in July, the U.S Marshals Service said.

De Los Santo fled to New Jersey after the killing, authorities said. The Interpol National Central Bureau in Santo Domingo issued a Red Notice in August 2016 requesting Perez De Los Santos' arrest.

He was taken into custody by ICE's Newark Fugitive Operations Officers and the U.S. Marshals New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force.

ICE conducted interviews and did surveillance before arrest De Los Santos. He is being held until being deported.
