Lt. Bill Dooley announced on Wednesday afternoon the arrest of Jaime Lopez Reynaga, 30, in the killing of Anthony Sanchez, 39, in the 2400 block of South Sierra Vista Avenue.

Reynaga was already in Fresno County Jail on unrelated charges when officers made the arrest, Dooley said.

Jail records show that Reynaga was previously booked into jail on Jan. 4 for allegedly stealing a vehicle and probation violation.
