The San Diego Fugitive Task Force on Wednesday announced the arrest of a suspect in the 2022 shooting death of a 3-year-old boy in Louisiana.

Jayden Jhamar Davis was staying at an apartment in the 1900 block of Stylus Street in Otay Ranch, officials said. He was located and apprehended without incident Monday, according to the U.S. Marshal Service.

On Saturday, the Middle Louisiana Fugitive Task Force received an active arrest warrant from the Baton Rouge Police Department for Davis, who was wanted on suspicion of first-degree murder.

Davis is accused of killing Devin Page Jr., who was struck in the head by a stray bullet while sleeping beside his 1-year-old sister inside their home on April 12, 2022.

“The incident stemmed from a shootout in the street that left more than 30 bullet holes in the exterior of the residence, where the family had been attempting to relocate due to ongoing violence in the area,” the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement.

WAFB, a Baton Rouge television station, reported that authorities linked a Glock used in the shootout that led to Devin’s death to two other shootings, one of them fatal. Investigators also found social media posts in which the suspect allegedly handled two of the firearms believed to have been used in the crime.

Davis is in custody pending extradition to Louisiana.
