W.Va. murder suspect captured in Fort Wayne

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A West Virginia murder suspect has been captured in Fort Wayne, Ind.

Quazza Stephan Farrow was tracked down by U.S. marshals in Fort Wayne on Friday.

The Herald-Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/POWD6B) that Farrow was wanted in the July 5 shooting death of 26-year-old Mikeal Branch.

U.S. Deputy Marshal John LaJeunesse told the newspaper that investigators think Farrow moved to Indiana believing that few people knew had a connection to Fort Wayne.

Farrow had shaved his head and changed his looks, but marshals were able to confirm the 20-year-old’s identity with tattoos.

Farrow was detained at the Allen County Jail in Fort Wayne. He is being held on an extradition warrant for West Virginia.
