Authorities say they’ve arrested a man in Colorado in connection with a homicide in central Iowa.

Des Moines police said Wednesday the man was arrested in Aurora, Colorado. The Des Moines Register reports he is awaiting extradition to Des Moines, where he will be formally charged with first-degree murder in the death of Matthew John Cizek.

Cizek was found near his Des Moines home on Sept. 11 with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital and later died.

Police have said they believe the men knew each other.
