Manuel Martinez was captured Thursday by police in Arizona near the Mexican border.
In July 2001, police believe Martinez had a dispute over money with his nephew, Miguel Martinez, 19, at the Seville Diner at 231st Street and Northern Boulevard, where they both worked.
Later on, Miguel's family received a phone call telling them they could find their loved one's body behind the diner.
