TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Arizona Department of Public Safety is reopening the roadway on Interstate 10 after tracking down a homicide suspect from San Diego Thursday evening.

A representative from the duty office says multiple agencies were involved in the capture.

While chasing this suspect, officers used a tire deflation device, deflating one of the tires. This made the vehicle come to a stop, which ultimately caused traffic to backup on I-10.

The roadway is now open.
