The St Elizabeth police have arrested and charged a man for murder almost a year after he fled the parish following the killing of 22-year-old Teville Green, otherwise called 'Frass', in Jointwood district.
Thirty-six-year-old Seymour Mullings of Jointwood district was tracked by the police and located in Kingston.
The Black River police say Green and Mullings were patrons at a bar in their community when an altercation developed between them.
During the conflict Mullings allegedly pulled a firearm and opened fire hitting Green, before fleeing the scene.
The police were summoned and Green taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Green was arrested during an operation in Kingston on Monday.
He gave a caution statement to the police and was later charged with murder, illegal possession of firearm, illegal possession of ammunition, and using a firearm to commit a felony.
