A man was arrested and charged with capital murder Monday after a near 30-hour manhunt for the suspect who fatally shot SAPD Det. Benjamin Marconi during a traffic stop Sunday.

Otis Tyrone McKane, 31, was arrested Monday and told reporters he had "lashed out at somebody who didn't deserve it" due to an ongoing custody battle for his son. McKane was charged with capital murder.

On Sunday, Marconi was issuing a traffic citation at 11:45 a.m. near the San Antonio Police Department's downtown headquarters, 315 South Santa Rosa, said Chief William McManus.

During the stop, a black Mitsubishi Galant pulled up behind Marconi, according to an arrest affidavit. The affidavit states that McKane exited the Galant and proceeded to shoot Marconi twice through the driver's window of the detective's patrol car before fleeing the scene.
