Police have arrested a suspect in the fatal shooting of a 49-year-old Long Beach man at an illegal gambling ring in August.

Johnny Akins was inside of a gambling establishment in the 1500 block of West Pacific Coast Highway when he was shot at about 1 a.m. on Aug. 23, police said. He later died at a hospital.

Police subsequently identified 31-year-old Richard Quintana of Long Beach as a suspect. Detectives located Quintana in Arizona, where he was taken into custody on a pre-existing Post Release Community Supervision violation warrant, police said.

Quintana was extradited to Long Beach on Thursday and booked on suspicion of murder. He was being held in lieu of $3 million bail.
