Bloomington Police say Le was located in Oklahoma and was apprehended around 12:30 AM Thursday. He was driving the Sprinter van when Oklahoma authorities took him into custody.

"Our hearts go out to the victim and their families as this should be a time of celebration for them but instead it's a time of tremendous grief. We are grateful that we were able to lock up the person responsible for their loss," said Bloomington Police Booker Chief Hodges.
