Dawson was arrested Friday, Oct. 8, in Phoenix, Arizona. He was wanted for murder and other charges, stemming from a shooting that killed 34-year-old Preston Spencer and injured six others at the Enigma Club on Sept. 7.

Jail records indicate Dawson was booked on suspicion of first-degree murder, a half-dozen counts of aggravated battery, criminal possession of a firearm, failure to appear, and discharge of a firearm. His bond was set at more than $5.1 million.

Dawson had active felony warrants in Sedgwick County, and was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to previous felony convictions.

A Wichita Police Department officer, assigned as a Task Force Officer with the United States Marshall’s Service, worked to locate Dawson.

It cost $2,940 to extradite Dawson back to Sedgwick County according to the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office.
