State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section Arrests Suspect in Ohio Murder

On November 10 in Holyoke, the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section (VFAS) West Team partnered with the United States Marshals Service on the arrest of Juan Lozada Delgado, 47, a fugitive wanted on a homicide charge in Cleveland, Ohio.

Lozada-Delgado was wanted by the Cleveland Police Department in connection with a fatal shooting after an altercation in a parking lot on October 4. One person was pronounced dead at the hospital and a second victim, who was struck by the same bullet, sustained significant injuries resulting in paralysis.

A US Marshals investigation led to an apartment block on Elm Street in Holyoke where Lozada-Delgado was believed to be staying. A surveillance team, including members of VFAS and the State Police Gang Unit along with US Marshals, Holyoke Police and Springfield Police, identified Lozada-Delgado at the location and apprehended him without incident or injury after he briefly fled up the stairs inside the building.

Lozada-Delgado was transported to Holyoke PD where he was charged as a Fugitive from Justice and awaits extradition to Ohio.
