JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS - Police in Arkansas have made an arrest in a nearly two decade-old cold case, according to local law enforcement.
On Monday, the Jacksonville Police Department announced the arrest of Lavelle Demario Calvin in connection with the 2008 murder of 18-year-old Danick Adams.
In August 2008. Adams was shot and killed in Jacksonville as she was leaving the gym with one of her friends.
The gunman fled the scene using Adams' car. Her friend called for help, but Adams ultimately died from her wounds.
According to the police, Calvin was arrested this week in Memphis and is being charged with capital murder.
One of the original investigators searching for Adams' killer, Detective Cindy Harbour, joined an auxiliary group to continue investigating the case after she retired.
Jacksonville Police Chief Brett Hibbs praised Harbour and the rest of the department for making a break in the case.
“It’s enormous for us and those of us who have been here a long time, especially when this murder happened,” Hibbs said.
The police said that the case has been sealed, so further details on the latest development in the shooting will be withheld from the public.
