SYRACUSE -- More than a dozen police officers from Syracuse and Buffalo arrested 30-year-old Donnell Lloyd of West Castle Street in Syracuse Friday morning.
Lloyd was the subject of a police manhunt for over two years, and was wanted on an Erie County Indictment Warrant charging him with second degree murder as well as a warrant for violating his parole on a first degree robbery conviction. Lloyd is accused of fatally shooting 25-year-old Larry Kemp on Warring Avenue in Buffalo back in September of 2007 during an argument.
Two days after the homicide, a team of officers recovered three long guns that Lloyd had hidden outside of his residence, which included an AK-47 and a rifle loaded with Teflon coated bullets.
A Crime Stoppers tip provided the Syracuse address that Lloyd had been hiding out at for over nine months. After conducting a few investigative steps, members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force in Buffalo headed for Syracuse and teamed up with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force. Lloyd was found hiding inside a second floor apartment occupied by his cousins.
Lloyd was returned to Buffalo to appear in Erie County Court.
