Lauderhill Man Arrested On Murder Charges In Fort Lauderdale

A Lauderhill man wanted on a murder charge was arrested in Fort Lauderdale Wednesday.

Markell Brown, 22, was stopped along Las Olas Boulevard shortly before 11 a.m. and taken into custody.

Detectives said Brown and an accomplice entered the home and held a couple at gunpoint while they ransacked the place. 

Martin County sheriff's detectives worked with Lauderhill police and U.S. marshals to apprehend Brown, who was identified as the gunman in a Jan. 20 home-invasion robbery on Jupiter Island.

Brown was released from prison last summer and has a violent criminal history. He was wanted in Broward County on a charge of first-degree murder.

Detectives are still trying to find Brown's accomplice.
