GULFPORT, MS — The man suspected of killing one man and shooting two others on March 1 in south Lansing was arrested in Mississippi on Friday.

Kyvon Deandre Wells, a 20-year-old from Lansing, was wanted for open murder and three other felonies.

He was arrested in Gulfport, Mississippi by U.S. Marshals and the Gulfport Police, according to a press release.

Wells is being held in the Harrison County Jail awaiting extradition back to Michigan.

When he returns, he'll be arraigned in 54-A District Court.

The Lansing Police Department responded on March 1 to a call of shots fired on Doc Strongs in Lansing near the border with Holt and found the three men with gunshot injuries.

Two of the victims, a 22-year-old Lansing man and a 66-year-old Haslett man had non-life-threatening injuries. The third man, Delayno Raymont Hudson, a 24-year-old Lansing man, died in the hospital on March 3.
