Investigators believe the suspect – a Modesto man named Favian Ramirez – had bought something at the store, then shot Eades. Ramirez then looted the cash register and left in a car that he was apparently test driving from a local used car dealership.
Modesto police say, with the help of the dealership, they were able to identify Ramirez as the suspect.
Ramirez was later arrested at a home in Ceres. He is facing charges of murder and robbery.
