Suspect arrested in Miami for early morning shooting in Sarasota.

Sarasota Police Department (SPD) said the shooting happened near the intersection of Dixie Avenue and 24th Street around 1 a.m. today (July 4). One adult victim died from their injuries.

Police were looking for Kevin Holloway, 54, in connection to the shooting, and SPD announced he was found in Miami around 18 hours after the incident.

“This case highlights our commitment to community safety and the importance of inter-agency cooperation. Thank you to all the officers and detectives involved for your hard work and dedication,” said Sarasota Police Chief Troche.

He is facing charges of murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and two counts of aggravated assault.

“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
