A man wanted in the shooting death of a 25-year-old in an Opa-locka parking lot has been arrested in Georgia, police said Thursday.
Khahijah Byrd, 23, who lives in Columbus, Georgia, was arrested this week and charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a deadly weapon.
On Sept. 13, Frank Labady, 25, was sitting in his parked Chevrolet Malibu at 13004 Alexandria Drive when someone approached him with a gun, police said. Labady, according to cops, did not turn over the car.
He was then fatally shot as he tried to drive away.
