The man wanted by Guam police in connection to the murder of Army Veteran Jason Susuico has been caught. 

Jason Keith Manibusan, 46, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder, aggravated assault, conspiracy, and use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony. 

He was taken to the Department of Corrections prison just before midnight. 

Authorities issued a wanted poster for Manibusan midday Thursday only stating that he was being sought for questioning in connection to an ongoing criminal investigation that occurred in Jan. 2023. 

KUAM confirmed the investigation involved the brutal beating of Susuico. 

Manibusan is the fourth arrest made in the case. 

No word yet if GPD detectives are searching for any additional suspects. 

The military veteran's body was found badly decomposed in a jungle area off Route 15 in Yigo in January. 

It took several months before investigators learned of the potential suspects involved from confidential sources

Co-defendants Cythina Quinata, Jordan Babauta, and Brandon Chandler have each been charged with aggravated murder for their alleged involvement in the killing. 

As we reported, Quinata allegedly lured Susuico to her Mangilao residence to smoke meth when he was beaten to death. The alleged motive, authorities believe, was over a drug deal gone wrong.
