Gustavo Perez Arriaga was taken into custody in Kern County early Friday morning.
Here's a transcription of Reggie Singh's emotional statement at the news conference:
"Please bear with me, this is not easy for me. Ronil Singh was my older brother.
"Yes, he's not coming back, but there's a lot of people out there that misses him. And a lot of law enforcement people that I don't know, who worked days and nights to make this happen. I'd like to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to make this happen.
"I wish I could thank all the law enforcement agencies, Homeland Security in San Francisco, everyone. I was waiting for this to happen.
"I'd like to thank you (for) working day and night to make this happen. Thank you."
