Man accused in Arizona killing arrested on Mississippi Coast, authorities say

A man wanted on suspicion of murder in Arizona was arrested Friday morning in Biloxi, authorities said.

Biloxi police responded at about 7 a.m. to the 200 block of Baker Street to serve a warrant, according to a news release.

Authorities said the suspect, 27-year-old Randal Basilio Santillan, was arrested “without incident.”

An investigation is ongoing. Authorities said Santillan’s arrest was the result of a joint operation between federal law enforcement and police in Biloxi and Tolleson, Arizona.

The news release said Santillan would be held in the Harrison County jail before he is extradited to Arizona.
