BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Police in Buffalo, N.Y., say a pastor has admitted he was the gunman who fatally shot a teenager nearly 12 years ago.
Detectives say tips led them to 31-year-old Jose Figueroa, who was charged Tuesday with second-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Alex Martinez in January 1998. They say Figueroa confessed shortly after arriving at police headquarters for questioning Monday.
Police Commissioner H. McCarthy Gipson says Figueroa "indicated that sometime over the last several years he had found a new path in life and that he had become very religious and became a pastor."
Detective Brian Ross says Figueroa "showed remorse" and took responsibility for his actions.
