Modesto police have arrested the man they suspect killed a 43-year-old man celebrating Cambodian New Year in west Modesto two weeks ago.
Sarath Prak, 18, was apprehended following an outpouring of tips from west Modesto residents of Cambodian descent, according to a police news release.
Prak is in custody on suspicion of shooting Chanthol Ouk of Long Beach, who was visiting friends for the New Year celebration near Paradise Road and Chicago Avenue. Prak also was charged with attempted murder and participating in criminal street gang.
Ouk reportedly was a bystander caught in the middle of gunfire between rival gangs on April 13.
