FLORENCE -- A 20-year-old man wanted for murder in Roanoke, Virginia, was captured in Burlington County on Tuesday after he allegedly ran from a car pulled over by police.

Markeith O'Shea Bryson Jr., of Roanoke, faces a second-degree murder charge in the Jan. 17 death of Michael Lee Nance, 28.

Nance was found with a gunshot wound to his abdomen and police said they believe drugs played a role in the shooting, according to The Roanoke Times. Another man, 19-year-old Michael Antonio David Jr., was previously arrested in January.

On Tuesday morning, a Florence officer pulled over a car on West Second Street for a moving violation. Police say that as the car stopped, a front-seat passenger jumped out and fled on foot.

The officer identified the passenger as Bryson and was aware he had a homicide warrant, police said.

Police set up a perimeter and a State Police helicopter flew overhead.

Bryson was found hiding inside a house on West Third Street, police said. A search turned up a handgun with a hollow point bullet in the chamber, police said.

Bryson was charged with being a fugitive from justice and obstructing the administration of the law. He was taken to Burlington County Jail pending extradition to Virginia.

The driver, Kierra Howard, 18, of Cinnaminson, was arrested on a weapons charge for having a baton inside her car, police said. She was released pending her court date.

Police say the investigation remains ongoing and additional charges may follow.
