NEWINGTON, Ga. () – The man wanted in connection to a fatal shooting in Screven County in April was arrested Wednesday, according to the Screven County Sheriff’s Office.

Demarion Butler, 19, was arrested May 7 on an outstanding warrant for Murder in the shooting death of 22-year-old Isaiah Barbee one month ago, on April 7.

The U.S. Marshals Service became involved on Friday, May 2, and attempted to arrest Butler with the aid of Effingham County Sheriff’s Office in the city of Rincon, Ga. Butler eluded capture and was last seen fleeing on foot along West 7th Street near Stokes Avenue within Rincon city limits. Rincon Police Department alerted residents Friday night that Butler was wanted and was to be considered armed and dangerous.

A spokesperson for Screven County Sheriff’s Office said that Barbee’s arrest after being on the run for a month was due to the hard work and cooperation of multiple law enforcement agencies, including local agencies and the U.S. Marshals Service.
