Police arrested a Los Altos man Saturday on suspicion of murder after another man went missing under suspicious circumstances Friday in San Jose, police said.
Officers arrested 39-year-old Steve Hlebo in Los Altos and booked him into the county jail.
Officers responded at 6:20 p.m. on Friday to the 2000 block of Camden Avenue to conduct a welfare check, according to police.
Officers learned that 28-year-old Kyle Myrick had been missing for a few hours.
An investigation revealed the incident was a homicide and officers identified Hlebo as a suspect, police said.
Officers seized Hlebo’s white 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 truck because they believe it’s associated with the murder.
But police are asking for help determining where the GMC was between 5 p.m. Friday and 2 a.m. Saturday.
Police continue to look for Myrick, according to police.
Anyone with information about the case is being asked to call Detective Sgt. Paul Hamblin or Detective Jason Tanner of the homicide unit at (408) 277-5283.
Callers wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (408) 947-7867. Anyone providing information that leads to an arrest and conviction of a suspect may receive a cash award from Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers.

The Mercury-News printed the mug shot of the perp. It was included in the police press release. Why is the photo not shown here?
Tough times for the family. I read a plea on FB from the sister-in-law of the missing person. They are searching around the Baylands area from Palo Alto to SJ, so any business owners please check any cameras you might have, and also check dumpsters and the surrounding area for any recent signs of disturbance
If they arrested him without finding a body, they must have found some substantive evidence. What was it?
