Vancouver police have arrested a man in connection with a homicide that occurred in Arnold Park on July 26.

William D. Peek, 27, was booked into the Clark County Jail on Thursday on suspicion of first-degree murder, according to a police news release.

The victim’s name has not been released pending notification of family members.

The male’s body was found in Arnold Park — the nearest cross streets are Northeast St. James and Northeast 42nd — and an autopsy fixed the cause of death as a homicide.

Peek was arrested Thursday by major crimes detectives with the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force.
