AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Richmond County deputies say they’ve arrested a man they were looking for in connection with a shooting last weekend.

Daniel Ortalaza, 39, was wanted in connection with a shooting that occurred Oct 29 in the 2100 block of Stevens Road, according to deputies.

He’s homeless and was known to frequent the area near Stevens Road, deputies reported.

He should be considered armed and dangerous, deputies said.

On Monday afternoon, deputies canceled their alert for the public to be on the lookout for him, saying he was in custody. Jail records showed he hadn’t been booked yet, however.
