A man wanted in the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend in Miami Gardens was arrested Wednesday, officials said.
Tyrone Bivins, 24, is facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of 21-year-old Jessula Bria Goulbourne.
Bivins made his first court appearance Thursday morning, where he was ordered held without bond. It was unknown if he has an attorney.
Bivins had been on the run since Goulbourne was shot and killed on April 12 in the area of Northwest 207th Street and Northwest 39th Avenue, police said.
According to an arrest warrant, a witness saw Bivins approach Goulbourne and fire a single shot into her head. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Goulbourne's mother, Brenda Delva, said the arrest brought her the closure she's been seeking for months.
"Yesterday I went to the cemetery to visit my daughter to tell her that we have closure," Delva said, in an exclusive interview with NBC 6. "I told my baby that justice has been served on his birthday, he was apprehend and now he's going to have to pay for what he did to my baby and now I hope he rots in jail."

Molly Bivins, Bivins' sister, said the couple dated for five years and said details most don't know about will surface in court.
"You wasn't there, I wasn't there. The only thing we're going to say is, let the law handle it," she said.
Bivins was arrested in November 2011 in a shooting at a Miami Gardens park that wounded four people, including an 11-year-old boy. He had been charged with four counts of attempted murder, but court records showed the charges were dropped in 2013.
