Norfolk murder suspect captured after four years in hiding

Montrell Davis, 25, aka “Lil Trell,” was arrested in Norfolk on Monday around 10:30 a.m.

NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) -- A four-year search for a Norfolk murder suspect has come to an end.

Montrell Davis, 25, aka "Lil Trell," was arrested in Norfolk on Monday around 10:30 a.m.

Davis was charged with second degree murder and use of a firearm in commission of a felony on Oct. 11, 2011. Police say Davis shot and killed a 19-year-old man.

For several years, it was believed that Davis was staying with family outside of Virginia, but he could not be found. Then, detectives learned that Davis had returned to Norfolk sometime over the summer. 

The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force found out Davis was staying with family at an apartment in the 600 block of Warwick Avenue. Davis was taken into custody without incident.

"Persistence pays off," said Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal John Bolen. "Four years and one day after his arrest warrants were issued a homicide suspect is finally off the streets due to the commitment of our fugitive task force."

Davis is currently being held at Norfolk City Jail.
