LAS VEGAS (AP) - Federal marshals in Las Vegas say they've arrested the 36-year-old stepfather of a 6-year-old boy found beaten to death at a Los Angeles apartment July 23.
Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Melinda Kormos says Marcus Fisher had been sought on a warrant issued July 28 in the slaying of Dae'von Bailey.
Kormos says Fisher was found by a multi-agency fugitive apprehension team in the West Las Vegas neighborhood. He'll be held at the Clark County jail pending his transfer in custody to California.
Los Angeles police say child welfare officials placed the boy with Fisher under a temporary custody agreement. Police say Fisher was on probation for burglary and drug convictions and was convicted of gang rape when he was a teenager.
