A 28-year-old man has been arrested in a months-long suspect search following the July shooting death of a teenage boy in Vallejo.
U.S. Marshals arrested Demark Anthony Bernstine of Richmond on Friday in connection with the murder of a 15-year-old boy on July 14. He was taken into custody outside of an apartment complex in Las Vegas without incident, authorities said in a news release.
At the time of the shooting, Bernstine was on parole after previously being convicted of attempted murder in Contra Costa County.
Officials released Bernstine's photo just a week after the shooting in an effort to locate him. He’ll be extradited back to Solano County for processing.
The 15-year-old victim, who has not yet been identified, was gunned down on at the Marina Vista apartment complex at Maine St. and Sacramento St. He died at the scene.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call 707-648-5430.
