STOCKTON - A 21-year-old woman wanted in connection with a drive-by killing in April was arrested Wednesday upon her return to the United States.

The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said Georgina Nunez fled to Mexico after the fatal shooting April 5 in Boggs Tract of Eduardo Cornejo. Acting on information they'd received that she would return, detectives were waiting for her at San Jose International Airport. Nunez was arrested and booked on suspicion of murder and two counts of attempted murder.

The investigation of Cornejo's killing took a strange turn in December, when deputies serving a search warrant at a home in the 5100 block of East Main Street discovered a 25-year-old man who had been kidnapped and tortured.

One woman and four men have been charged with that crime.
