Juan David Villegas-Hernandez, 34, was arrested in connection with the shooting deaths of his four daughters, ages 14, 11, 7, and 3, and his wife, 34

A man suspected of shooting dead his wife and four daughters has been detained in Mexico.

Mexican authorities say they have apprehended 34-year-old Juan David Villegas-Hernandez in a residence in the town of Arizpe in Sonora, Roswell police said Monday.

Investigators confirmed Monday afternoon the man in custody is Villegas-Hernandez.

He is expected to be subject to extradition, police said.

Police said the victims of Saturday's fatal shooting at the Villegas-Hernandes family home in Roswell were the wanted man's wife, 34, and four daughters, aged 14, 11, 7 and 3. Their names have not been released.

Police said the victims were found around 11:15pm Saturday by relatives who grew worried after they were unable to reach them by phone.

The family lived in the 2300 block of Davis Avenue, according to KOAT.

A medical examiner will conduct autopsies to confirm the victims' identities and cause of death.

The shooting likely occurred earlier on Saturday, Wildermuth said.

Police said Villegas-Hernandez may be driving a red, four-door Ford pickup with New Mexico license plate KJS479.
