TAMPA, Fla. — The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said the man who shot and killed another man outside an apartment complex in Tampa has been arrested in Lee County.
According to HCSO, an adult man was shot in the parking lot at IQ Apartments around 3:30 p.m. on July 22. Deputies said when they arrived they learned the suspect, later identified as 25-year-old Darren Day, had driven away from the scene in an unknown direction.

On Aug. 2, Day was located and arrested by the U.S. Marshalls Service in Lee County. He's being charged with one count of first-degree murder.
