Police said a tip helped them track down Edwin Fernando Flores, 24, of Lynn, Massachusetts, on the city's west side.

"Fortunately for our agency and our department, we have outstanding cooperation with other agencies throughout New England," Lt. Brian O'Keefe said.

Flores is wanted in connection with a deadly shooting in Lynn, where police said a man was shot and killed in the middle of a street on July 11, putting the neighborhood on edge.

"I'm scared," witness Jennifer Lunetta said after the shooting. "It's really sad. Really sad."

Investigators focused on a Chestnut Street apartment, and neighbors said the victim was Philip Russo, 24, of Peabody, Massachusetts.

Manchester police said a tip led them to the area of 235 Conant St. in Manchester.

"They put a plan in place," O'Keefe said. "They figured out a location that Flores may have been at. They were correct. They set up a perimeter, and they watched him get into a motor vehicle."

Police soon stopped the car, and Flores was arrested, police said. He appeared Monday in Manchester Circuit Court and asked for an attorney.

Police said they don't know why Flores was in Manchester or if he knew anyone there.

"At this pointing in time, it is still under investigation, and hopefully he is brought to justice rapidly down in Massachusetts," O'Keefe said.

Flores is being held on a fugitive from justice charge, and a bail hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
