COLUMBIA, Md. — The alleged gunman wanted for a murder last summer inside the Mall in Columbia has been arrested after more than ten months on the run.

William Marshall III, was arrested overnight Thursday at an apartment in Brooklyn, New York.

He's accused of gunning down 17-year-old Angelo Little last July inside the mall food court.

Detectives believe the two teens knew each other, but a motive for why Marshall targeted Little is unclear.

Marshall attended Oakland Mills High School in Howard County, yet never returned to class, an indication he fled the area.

Prior to launching a nationwide search for Marshall, investigators released this video footage of the shooting, offering up to $30,000 in rewards for information leading to his arrest.

In the end, police say it was a tip that helped capture Marshall.

Details for potential reward recipients are being arranged.

Meanwhile, detectives are still working to determine whether anyone helped Marshall elude police.

Marshall remains in New York pending extradition.
