PINE BLUFF, Ark. (AP) - Police say a man sought after his girlfriend was fatally shot in Arkansas has been captured in Amarillo, Texas.

Amarillo police say 38-year-old Christopher Fletcher was arrested early Tuesday on a capital murder warrant. Investigators in Pine Bluff had advised officers in Amarillo to be on the lookout for Fletcher, who was located at a bus station.

LaRonda McElroy was shot Monday while outside her home in Pine Bluff. The 28-year-old woman was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Fletcher was being held without bond Tuesday. Potter County jail records don’t list an attorney to speak on behalf of Fletcher, who faces return to Arkansas.
