Authorities have made a second arrest in the January murder of a Miami-Dade Corrections officer.
21-year-old Ockeeve Sinclair was located and taken into custody in Fort Pierce Thursday, according to Pembroke Pines Police.
Sinclair and 29-year-old Brian Fairweather, who was arrested in April, are both charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Daveon Hall. A Broward County Grand Jury indicted both men on the charges this week.
Fairweather remains in custody at the Broward County Jail.
Hall was found shot to death in his Pembroke Pines apartment by his mother in January. The 15-year veteran with the Miami-Dade Corrections Department didn't report for work and his mother had gone to see why.
According to an arrest report, a neighbor told police she had become involved in a romantic relationship with Hall. She said she was married to Fairweather but the two were separated.
The neighbor said Fairweather had learned of the relationship and confronted Hall a few days before the murder, the report said.

Fairweather met with detectives in February and told them he was aware of the relationship but was not upset with Hall after learning about it, the report said. He denied being involved in the murder, the report said.
But according to the report, Fairweather admitted to two people that he was involved in the murder. When he was interviewed again he said he believed an acquaintance killed Hall, the report said.
Pembroke Pines Police said this case remains an active criminal investigation.
