Police have arrested one suspect miles from where a fatal stabbing happened over the weekend. 

The body of 22-year-old Juwaan Holt was found in Salamanca around Broad Street and Pimlico Avenue Saturday morning. 

The suspect was apprehended outside of Las Vegas and is being extradited back to Cattaraugus County.

According to the Henderson Police Department he is only being held on that warrant and no additional charges have been filed in their jurisdiction.
