MORRISANIA, The Bronx (WABC) An arrest in a purse snatching incident Monday led to charges in the murder of a 16-year-old outside a Bronx deli earlier this month, police said Tuesday.
Marquis Beckford, 22, was taken into custody after allegedly stealing the handbag from the front seat of a taxi operated by a 60-year-old woman, outside 980 Trinity Avenue.
The officers who caught the suspect quickly recognized him from the previously released video from the deli shooting, in which James Solano was fatally shot in the neck.
