BALTIMORE — A Baltimore teen's alleged killer is in custody.

Devron Tyner, 17, was shot to death on April 1 outside the Renaissance Baltimore Harbor Place Hotel.

Charging documents say the entire incident was captured on area surveillance.

Police say they tracked the alleged shooter before and after Tyner's murder.

That footage reportedly shows 19-year-old Dejuan Joshua Cole getting off a nearby metro train with four other men before they attempted to rob Tyner, leading to his eventual death.

A witness came forward identifying Cole as the triggerman, after police publicly released surveillance photos of the suspects.

It's unclear if any others will be charged in connection.
