Staties apprehend Indiana man who allegedly murdered girlfriend

Troopers from the State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and members of the U.S. Marshals Service apprehended an Indiana man Wednesday who allegedly murdered his girlfriend in their hometown of Anderson, about an hour northeast of Indianapolis.

Alexander Ortiz, 36, of Anderson, Ind., was parked at a rest stop on Route 95 South in Newton in his 2007 Acura when the troopers and marshals, who had been working with investigators from Madison County, Ind., found him. He was taken into custody as a fugitive from justice and transported to the State Police-Framingham Barracks for booking.

Ortiz is wanted for the Dec. 21 homicide of Andrea Aguirre, 37, who was found deceased from multiple stab wounds inside her Anderson home’s bedroom. Her two toddlers were home at the time of the murder, but were unharmed.

Ortiz was arraigned as a fugitive from justice, and prosecutors will arrange his rendition to Indiana to face the homicide charges.
