NASHUA — Local, state and federal authorities have tracked down and arrested a suspect in the Aug. 11 murder of Nashua resident Jared Daly, who was found bludgeoned to death in his Hanover Street apartment.

Barden was removed from the closet and taken into custody without further incident, Formella said.
