Deputies say an accused murderer on the run had portrayed himself as a 9th grade girl before he was caught in Augusta, Georgia.

Jayquwan Newmones, 23, was arrested Thursday by Greenville police, the SBI, the FBI, Augusta police and Richmond County deputies.

Newmones was wanted for the murder of Timothy Moore whose body was found outside of Belhaven.

Beaufort County deputies say Newmones had drastically changed his appearance, "and been dressing as a girl for over a week, portraying himself as a 9th grade high school student."

A family in Augusta had taken Newmones in, according to deputies, after he came to their home asking for help.

On Sunday, Khalif Newmones, the man's brother, and Alicia Polen were arrested in Augusta. The two were charged with accessory after the fact to murder.

All three people are being held in Richmond County, Georgia.
