A man has been arrested for a fatal shooting Wednesday around lunchtime on the west side. Leon County deputies say the victim was found in his car in the road along the 5700 block of Aenon Church Trail.

The sheriff’s office says the suspect, 34-year-old Trevon Cloud, fled and was caught in Gadsden County. Cloud was booked into the Leon County Detention Facility on second-degree murder charges.
