LANSING (WWJ/AP) - A suspect wanted for killing a man and shooting two others in Lansing is in custody on Mississippi's Gulf Coast.

A joint operation between the U.S. Marshal's Service and Gulfport Police Department resulted in the arrest Friday of 20-year-old Kyvon Deandre Wells.

Wells was found in Gulfport, where he apparently has relatives, and is being held at the Harrison County jail pending extradition to Michigan. Upon his return, Wells will be arraigned in 54-A District court.

Authorities in Lansing say Wells is wanted for the slaying of 22-year-old Delayno Hudson and the shooting of two others on March 1. All three victims were in a sedan that crashed into a parked vehicle in a mobile home park, according to The Lansing State Journal. Wells was witnessed running from the scene.

Wells is charged with one count of open murder, two counts of assault with the intent to murder and one count of a felony firearms violation.
