WORCESTER, Mass.—Police in California arrested a man wanted in connection with the deaths of a mother and her 11-year-old daughter in Massachusetts and charges against another man who was earlier arrested were upgraded Tuesday to murder.

The latest arrest happened Monday in San Diego during a vehicle stop, nearly a week after Chasity Nunez, 27, and her daughter, Zella Nunez, were shot in a parked SUV in a Worcester neighborhood, police said. They were pronounced dead at a hospital.
