Detroit Police Chief James Craig said they have arrested a 39-year-old man in connection to the murder of an employee at O'Reilly Auto Parts.

According to police, the man was arrested for accessory after the fact and harboring the two female suspects.

On Monday night, 23-year-old Shawnta Sharee Anderson was taken into custody. They are still searching for 28-year-old Eboni Monae Mcewen-Ross and the driver of the vehicle.

Last Wednesday, police say Anderson and Mcewen-Ross walked into the store and casually shopped, then went behind the counter and demanded cash from the female clerk.

That's when the manager, 70-year-old James Haller Jr., came up to see what was going on. One of the women fired a shot and hit him, killing him.

They were reportedly seen leaving in an older model burgundy Chevy Suburban with a broken right rear window covered with plastic duct tape.
