WATSONVILLE—Watsonville Police on Tuesday arrested a Watsonville man for a fatal shooting near Ramsay Park from last year.
Julio Sanchez, 22, has been charged with murder. He was already in custody in Santa Cruz County Jail for vehicle theft and other charges. He is being held without bail, jail records showed.
Sanchez is accused of shooting and killing a 26-year-old man on Main Street and Pennsylvania Drive on Oct. 24, 2020.

Sanchez confessed to the killing, Pulido said.
