Federal and local law enforcement agents arrested a 21-year-old fugitive wanted in connection with homicide case in Georgia after tracking the man to an apartment complex in Palm Bay. The arrest may also have come as the suspect was breaking into an apartment, police say.

The man, identified as Kerven Silvera Telsey, was handcuffed taken away by officers without incident about 3 p.m., about an hour after at least two dozen officers began surrounding the Vista Oaks Apartment complex just off of Bottlebrush Drive. The U.S. Marshals office contacted the Brevard County GAME OVER task force after learning the man - a suspect in the Sept. 6 slaying of Kenneth Paul Brown in Coweta County, Ga., was at the complex.

Police, along with agents from the U.S. Marshals office and the Brevard County sheriff's office arrived earlier today where the man subsequently was holed up in the apartment.

A Palm Bay SWAT team armored car was also seen rolling through the complex with several officers in olive fatigues riding inside.

Police assisted with setting up a perimeter around the complex, shutting down traffic in and out of the area until Telsey was taken into custody by agents. It was not immediately known if any weapons were recovered.
