Harvey police said during a news conference that 24 year-old Rashad Williams of East Hazel Crest, Ill. was arrested in Chicago Heights Sunday night.

Harvey Deputy Police Chief Gregory Thomas credited the public with Williams’ arrest, saying tips provided a general location. He says Chicago Heights police helped with surveillance and Williams was spotted in the neighbourhood carrying grocery bags. He’s due in court Monday.

Williams is suspected in the Nov. 26 death of 38 year-old Tyrone Hardin of Merrillville, Indiana. A first-degree murder warrant was issued.
