RICHMOND, Va. -- A fifth person was arrested in connection to the April 27 shooting at the Belt Atlantic apartments that killed a mother and her infant girl, and injured three others.

Crime Insider sources confirmed 18-year-old Kevon Bynum was arrested Thursday on Richmond's Southside with the help of the U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force.

Richmond Police said the FBI also assisted in the arrest, which followed after days of tirelessly searching for the fugitive.

Bynum was wanted by authorities for conspiracy to commit murder. His twin brother, Kavon, was arrested earlier this week.
