The third of five suspects wanted in the August shooting of Samuel David Horne in Edgewood has been captured in Yonkers, N.Y., police said.
Ravon Leonard Watson, 27, was arrested Friday evening on charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. He was one of five men police believe confronted and killed 25-year-old Horne in the 1800 block of Brookside Drive the afternoon of Aug. 11.
Harford County detectives had been working closely with police in Yonkers, distributing posters with photos of Watson and another suspect, Vance Edward Major, who remains at large, said Sgt. Christina Presberry, Harford Sheriff?s spokeswoman.
“The local police were cruising through a neighborhood up there and he was just sitting on a stoop,” Presberry said. “They had the picture of him but weren?t sure it was him because he didn?t run or anything.”
The officers stopped and talked to Watson, who gave his real name when asked and was taken into custody without incident, Presberry said.
An extradition hearing could be held today to bring him back to Harford County.
Two other suspects were arrested last month and are being held without bond at the Harford County Detention Center, Presberry said.
Sean Nelson Smith, 28, was arrested in Stamford, Conn. Aug. 24 and charged with first-degree murder. Nicholas Darin Porter, 27, turned himself in to Harford Sheriff?s Deputies Aug. 25 and was charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
The victim?s mother, former community activist Mildred Samy, said she planned to attend hearings for the two suspects in custody.
“I desperately need to see the faces of these cowards that murdered my son in cold blood,” she said.
Police believe a fifth person was involved in the shooting, but have not yet named a suspect. Horne had argued with the men the night before he was killed, police said.
