MIRAMAR, Fla., Aug. 7 (UPI) -- A Florida man was charged with first-degree murder in the death of a federal agent after a 30-hour manhunt, police said.
Acting on a tip, police arrested James Wonder, 65, of Miramar, Fla., at a dialysis center where he gone for treatment, The Miami Herald reported Thursday.
Wonder was charged in Tuesday's death of U.S. Customs agent Donald Pettit. Police said Wonder killed Pettit following a dispute but didn't elaborate. Federal sources close to the investigation told the Herald road rage led to the shooting.
