Bay Minette Police have charged a man in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred last month.

Decareus Keywon Mallory Andrews, 28, was located Thursday and taken into custody in connection with the May 23 death of Dyrontae Condarrly Booker, 21.

At around 10:20 p.m. that day, a patrol officer heard gunshots on the 900 block of Daphne Road, according to a previous release.

Upon arriving to the scene, the officer found Booker lying in a yard with multiple gunshot wounds.

The officer then saw Andrews fleeing on foot from a house nearby where a large party was taking place, the release said.

The officer initiated a foot pursuit but lost sight of the suspect after several blocks.

Police said previously that the crime was not a random act and that the suspect and victim knew each other.

Andrews has been booked into the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office Correction Center and is charged with murder and certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm, according to this week’s release.

His bond hearing will be scheduled at a later date.

“This arrest marks a significant step forward in bringing justice to the victim’s family,” Bay Minette Police Chief Al Tolbert wrote in the release.

“We thank our law enforcement partners, the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force, the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, and the public for their assistance throughout this investigation.”
