After 13 long years, a Peoria man has been indicted of shooting a cab driver to death in Glendale.

Authorities have arrested the 32-year-old Michael Wayne Bentley, who is the prime suspect in the unsolved homicide case.

After investigation, it was found that Bentley's fingerprints matched latent prints lifted from a recovered carjacking vehicle from June 2000.

This lead helped Glendale police reach the murderer Bentley.

Glendale police found wounded 50-year-old Malcolm Gomes outside his taxi on June 2, 2000. He was shot and died later.

"A man seen running from the scene matched the description of someone involved in an armed carjacking later in Glendale. Police determined the crimes were related, but the case then went cold," reports ABC 15.
