It's April 9, I'm Cory with the story. This is Tampa Bay News today, driven by AI. Police in Lakeland just nabbed the suspect in that deadly shooting at the J-Fox lounge from back in February. 34-year-old Janard Childs got picked up on charges tied to the killing of the Andre Montgomery senior who was 33. The incident went down just after 2 a.m. on February 22, right as folks were heading out for the night. The Montgomery ended up on the ground outside the lounge and was rushed to Lakeland Regional Health, but he didn't make it. Earlier this week, detectives from the Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force teamed up with Plansity Police to bring childs in without any hassle. They'd issued an arrest warrant just two days after the shooting back then. Childs now faces second degree murder, plus possession of a firearm as a convicted felon and tampering with evidence. He's sitting in Hillsboro County jail as the investigation rolls on. This arrest brings some closure to Montgomery's family after months of waiting, but the road

to trial is just getting started. Stay tuned for updates on how it unfold.
