Groves detectives secured an arrest warrant for Prevost for first degree murder.

Police previously announced the arrest of 20-year-old Darionte Everfield, of Port Arthur, saying he was located last week in Harris County at a relative’s apartment.

Groves and Port Arthur police responded to McDonald’s, 4500 Twin City Highway, at approximately 10:50 p.m. April 14 in reference to a shooting. They found the 19-year-old victim suffering multiple gunshot wounds.

Solomon was brought to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Groves City Marshal Norman Reynolds Jr. said police believe the victim and suspects knew each other.

The suspects’ vehicle was parked when Solomon arrived, left his vehicle and was talking to the driver of a Dodge Journey when he was shot.

Solomon was able to run for a short distance before collapsing. The shooter’s vehicle fled the scene directly after the shooting, Reynolds said.

Police recovered surveillance video from the shooting.

No other injuries were reported.
