Detectives say the surveillance video showed a Nissan Altima leaving the crime scene after the shooting. It was a car that had been reported stolen earlier, and the owner of that car happened to have a photo of the man they believed took it. That photo was later shown to Bredhold’s foster parents, who identified him as the person in the picture.
The 18-year-old was arrested at Fayette Mall Tuesday, where police say they found a loaded handgun, marijuana and nearly $570 in cash.
