Authorities in Florida this morning arrested a Minneapolis man wanted in connection with fatal shooting last month at a Brooklyn Park bar.
Agents from the Florida Fugitive Task Force and the FBI arrested a 32-year-old man in Fort Lauderdale after police and investigators with the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office tracked him there, said Capt. Greg Roehl of the Brooklyn Park Police.
Roehl said the suspect aided another man who allegedly shot Romel Jones Jr. in the face on Sept. 24 as he stood on the patio Blondie's Sports Bar and Grill. Two other people were injured in the shooting.
The suspect made his first appearance in a Florida court this morning. It's not clear if the suspect will waive his right to extradition to Minnesota to face charges, Roehl said.
Police continue to look for 20-year-old Antonio Rashaun Dale, 20, of Minneapolis. He has been charged with second-degree murder. Police say he is the man who pulled the trigger killing Jones, Jr., 19. A dispute between two groups shortly after midnight led to the shooting, police said.
Dale was added to the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office's Most Wanted list today.
Dale is described as 5 feet 6 inches, 117 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He has a tattoo on his right and left hands, and one on his upper left arm that says "Love Mom."
