A man accused of killing his brother on Easter in Massachusetts has been arrested in Maine.
Jeremiah Abreu, 20, of Brockton, Massachusetts, faces charges of homicide, unlawful possession of a loaded firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, assault and battery with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building and domestic assault and battery, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
Abreu allegedly shot his brother, 27-year-old Sederick Abreu, about 2:17 a.m. Sunday inside a Hoover Avenue home in Brockton, CBS affiliate WBZ reported.
Sederick Abreu was taken to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton, where he succumbed to a gunshot wound to the chest, according to WBZ.
Two other people, 24-year-old Sirick Amado and 26-year-old Antonio Dejesus, have been charged as accessories to the homicide, the TV station reported.
Authorities haven’t disclosed a motive for the shooting, though witnesses reportedly heard fighting and yelling at the home the night before.
Abreu was tracked to Lewiston, where police found him Tuesday in a motor vehicle. He was arrested without incident, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
Abreu has been charged as being a fugitive from justice, and he will be arraigned in Maine pending his extradition back to Massachusetts.
