A man wanted for the murder of an elderly Mississippi woman who was found shot and set on fire in her home last week has been captured near Jackson, Miss.

Sammy Patrick had been wanted for murder since the body of 73-year-old Dee Eady was found inside her Scott County home last Saturday.

Eady had been fatally shot and her body set on fire. Investigators believe she may also have been sexually assaulted, but are awaiting the results of an autopsy.

On Monday, Patrick was believed to have robbed a Subway in Wilkinson County, Miss., not far from the Mississippi-Louisiana state line in southwestern Mississippi, prompting Louisiana law enforcement to join in the hunt, although Scott County Sheriff Mike Lee warned at the time Patrick could go anywhere in his effort to elude capture.

On Friday, U.S. Marshals received information that Patrick was riding in a vehicle which had been reported stolen out of Jefferson Parish, La., according to WLBT in Jackson. A U.S. Marshal and Mississippi State Trooper spotted the vehicle and the trooper pulled it over just before 11 a.m. at a convenience store in Byrum, Miss., not far from Jackson and about 50 miles west of where Dee Eady was murdered.

Patrick was taken into custody without incident.

The Scott County Sheriff’s Office took to social media to express its gratitude for Patrick’s capture.

“Thank you to all of the agencies that assisted with the capture of Sammy Patrick,” read the Facebook post. “Rankin County SO, Louisiana State Police, Mississippi Highway Patrol, US Marshal Service, New Orleans PD, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, and Byram PD. Thank you all for the help!!”
