The second man suspect in the killing Friday of a 72-year-old Rochester Hills man has been arrested.

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office announced Monday that its fugitive apprehension team arrested the man after spotting him in traffic in Plymouth Township. He was pulled over and arrested without incident. 

No other details were provided.

The first suspect was arrested shortly after the murder in Shrevport, Louisiana. He has been identified as Carlos Jose Hernandez 37, of Dearborn.

Authorities say the two suspects, posing as DTE workers, fanagled their way into a Rochester Hills home Friday morning and killed the husband, 72, Hussein Murray, and tied up the wife. Murray owned a jewelry store/pawn shop  in Hamtramck.

A snippet of home security footage released by the Oakland County Sheriff's Office shows a big man with short-cropped hair in a reflective vest and medical mask standing at the front door, saying: "We're DTE. We're checking for gas leaks."
