AUBURN — The U.S. Marshals Service on Tuesday arrested a Maryland man accused of shooting and killing his father in February.

Marshals say 31-year-old Ja’bril Roynell Walters was captured at a home in Auburn after searches of other locations in Durham and Lewiston.

Walters was charged with first- and second-degree murder, five counts of assault and use of a firearm in commission of a violent crime.

Since mid-February, local and federal agents had been searching for Walters after the body of his father, Roy Walters, 57, was found in his home in Salisbury, Maryland.

Roy Walters died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to Maryland State Police.

Early in the investigation, police in Maryland sought the help of the public in tracking down the dead man’s son.

U.S. marshals said Tuesday that they learned Ja’bril Roynell had fled to Maine, possibly under an alias, and a search for him began.

He was arrested without incident, police said, and taken to the Androscoggin County Jail in Auburn, where, as a fugitive from justice, he was being held without bail pending extradition to Maryland.
