Five days later, U.S. Marshalls attached to the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force got a tip regarding the whereabouts of the defendant hiding out in a home in the town of Scio, south of Akron, Ohio. The Barberton resident was immediately arrested, and the murder weapon was found in his possession, according to WKYC.

The motive for the killing remains unclear.

Deel, whom the judge tagged a repeat offender, will be eligible for parole after serving 21 years in prison.
