A man has surrendered in connection with the May 4, shooting of a Marana businessman, police say.

Ruben Duran Munoz, 63, turned himself in to authorities at a port of entry in Nogales on Tuesday.

He’s been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in the shooting of John Kai, Jr., 69.

Kai was shot at his Marana business and Munoz was soon identified as a suspect.

Munoz is being held at the Santa Cruz County jail pending extradition to Pima County, the Marana Police Department said in a news release.

Kai is recovering from his injuries and has been released from the hospital, police said.
