CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –
The man wanted in connection to a drive-by shooting that killed a Cleveland toddler has been captured.
Tuesday morning, at 6:45 a.m. U.S. Marshals arrested Donnell Lindsey in Smyrna, GA.
U.S. Marshals and Cleveland Police had been searching for the 23-year-old for seven months.
