On Friday, March 31, 2017, members of the Sheriff's Office Crime Reduction Unit located Carlos Meza aka Tink along Fountain Creek's bank hiding under a log.  Meza was taken into custody without incident and will be booked into the Criminal Justice Center on the charge of Possession of a Weapon by a Previous Offender.  The charge stems from the investigation of the double murder of Natalie Partida and Derek Greer.   

He will also be booked in on two other warrants which are not related to the double homicide.

A mug shot of Meza is attached to this Media Release.

We would like to express our appreciation to the members of the Colorado Springs Police Department who assisted us today.
