Man Wanted in Baltimore Killing Arrested in Connecticut

VERNON, Conn. (AP) — A man wanted in connection with a murder in Baltimore last month has been arrested in Connecticut.

Police in Vernon, Connecticut, say they and state troopers apprehended 28-year-old Andrew Nurse at an apartment Friday night after being contacted by Baltimore detectives. They say Nurse surrendered without incident.

Nurse faces a murder charge in connection with the fatal shooting of 33-year-old William Lee Lesane on March 11. Vernon police say Nurse also has a warrant in Connecticut accusing him of violating probation and he appeared to violate a protective order by having contact with a woman in Vernon.

Nurse is detained on $4 million bail and is to be arraigned in Rockville Superior Court on Monday. It wasn't immediately clear if he has a lawyer who could respond to the allegations.
