BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- Baltimore City Police arrested a suspect connected to a vehicular homicide almost a year after the incident happened.

Officers arrested 27-year-old Tavon Ross, of the 1800 block of 29th Street, Thursday, for a fatal crash that occurred on Feb. 28, 2016 at the intersection of East Monument Street and Caroline Street at 3:40 a.m.
