On the afternoon of Friday, Jan. 20 the Tucson Police Department Homicide Unit was notified that homicide suspect Trevontea Howard-Brown had been located and arrested in northern Iowa.
TPD officers asked the public for help in finding Howard-Brown shortly after obtaining an arrest warrant for him in May 2022.
After unsuccessful leads on Howard-Brown's whereabouts, the U.S. Marshals Service was contacted and asked to join the search.
The U.S. Marshals found information pointing to a possible location in northern Iowa.
Members of the Charles City Police Department and U.S. Marshals Service found Howard-Brown at a residence early on Jan. 20.
After briefly hiding inside the house, Howard-Brown was eventually taken into custody without any problems.
He was transported and booked into the Floyd County Jail for his warrant for First Degree Murder and Attempted First Degree Murder. He is currently awaiting extradition back to Arizona.
