Police have arrested a suspect in connection with the shooting death of an up-and-coming boxer from the Bronx.

NYPD officials said Saturday that police in Virginia have arrested a man suspected of killing 20-year-old Ronney Vargas on August 16th.

Police say the three-time Daily News Golden Gloves champ was pistol-whipped and fatally shot while in his car, after getting into an argument at an East Tremont bodega.

The unidentified suspect is now awaiting extradition to New York.
