NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - The suspect in a fatal daytime shooting in Connecticut last month has been arrested by U.S. Marshals in North Carolina.
The New Haven Register reports that 34-year-old Elias Rivers was taken into custody Monday in Mount Olive, North Carolina, about 70 miles southeast of Raleigh.
Police say Rivers is a suspect in the shooting in New Haven at about mid-day April 11 of 35-year-old Eric Lewis.
Lewis was struck in the chest and pronounced dead at Yale New Haven Hospital.
Rivers is charged with murder, criminal possession of a firearm by a felon and carrying a pistol without a permit. He is being held in North Carolina in lieu of $2 million bail. It could not be determined if he has a lawyer.
