A Santa Cruz man wanted for attempted murder was arrested at gunpoint in an alley near Barson and Campbell streets on Monday afternoon.
Manuel Ayala allegedly shot at an inhabited car in 2006, police reported. He was arrested at the time, but then released due to lack of evidence. Investigators reopened the case, provided additional information to the District Attorney’s Office and an arrest warrant was issued for Ayala in early March, police reported.
Monday, officer Arnold Vasquez recognized Ayala on Barson Street, prompting a police perimeter in the neighborhood and Ayala’s gunpoint arrest.

Barson and Campbell street
This is in the ‘wink-wink’ district, right? Where prostituion goes on openly, and everyone looks the other way?
