Police took Derell Guy into custody in Wilton after searching for him for about a day. Guy’s from Lynn, Massachusetts, and fled into the woods in Wilton after a Monday traffic stop.

Guy has been on the Massachusetts State Police’s Most Wanted list for almost three weeks. He’s wanted in connection with the shooting death of Bryan Omar Mendez, 25, of Worcester, Massachusetts.

The Sun Journal reported Guy was arrested without incident. Multiple agencies had been searching for him. It was unknown on Tuesday if he had been able to retain an attorney.
