BALTIMORE, Md. (WJZ) -- Police have made an arrest in the murder of a Baltimore man killed over a feud with his neighbor, authorities said Tuesday.
Alejandro Gonzalez, 38, is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Travis Ben-Watkins, according to the Baltimore Police Department.
Ben-Watkins, 26, was found shot multiple times about 8:30 p.m. Sept. 4 by police investigating a shooting reported in the 5000 block of Corley Road.
He was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Homicide detectives later learned that Ben-Watkins had been involved in an ongoing feud with his neighbor that escalated when he was shot.
Based on their findings, detectives identified Gonzalez as the shooting suspect and got a warrant for his arrest.
The 38-year-old was taken into custody in Georgia and extradited to Baltimore late last month.
Court records show Gonzalez has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Oct. 28.
