Derek Henry Pinski was arrested Saturday night at his father’s house in Mesa, Ariz., just hours after Alexandra Tang, also 24, was found dead.

Pinski, who is accused of fatally stabbing Tang, is facing extradition, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

The two met while attending UC Santa Barbara.
