SOCORRO, N.M. (AP) - Authorities say a Socorro man has been arrested in the slaying of his girlfriend.

New Mexico Department of Public Safety officials say 56-year-old John James Hayden was booked Wednesday into the Socorro County detention center on a no-bond hold.

They say Hayden will be facing charges of an open count of murder, kidnapping and aggravated battery against a household member.

Authorities say Hayden was identified as a suspect in the shooting death of Theresa Saiz-Chavez. Her body was found Tuesday night in a vehicle found parked under a bridge off Chaparral Road.
