Larnell Lyles,
27, was taken into custody for the murder of Brandon Brown, 22,
who was fatally shot while selling ice cream out of his "Big
Daddy Ice Cream" truck Saturday afternoon in Frederick, about 50
miles (80 km) west of Baltimore, according to a Frederick Police
Department statement.
The suspect approached Brown as he exited the truck to sell ice
cream to children and shot him once in the chest at about 5:30
p.m. local time, police said.
Police said witnesses helped identify Lyles, who was taken into
custody in Walkersville, 7 miles (11 km) north of Frederick, and
charged with first degree murder and use of a handgun in the
commission of a felony.
Additional charges will follow at a later date, police said.
Police did not give a motive and said the investigation was
ongoing.
