ORLANDO POLICE: ACCUSED POLICE KILLER CAPTURED

Markeith Loyd, a fugitive who eluded police for nine days after authorities said he shot killed an Orlando police officer in a Walmart parking lot, was captured late Tuesday. The arrest brings to a close one of the largest manhunts in recent memory for central Florida.

Loyd, seen on a televised video with what appeared to be a swollen eye, was led into the Orlando police department headquarters Tuesday night.

“They beat me up,” Loyd was heard saying three times during the perp walk. He was already wanted on murder charges in connection with the Dec. 13 shooting death of his 24- year- old pregnant girlfriend, Sade Dixon.

He faces multiple charges, including two counts of first degree murder in connection with the deaths of his girlfriend and her unborn child. Other charges are pending in the police shooting.
