Police made an arrest in the shooting death of a 14-year-old girl who disappeared before she was found dead back in May.

Tampa detectives said they were able to connect 44-year-old Ronny Walker to Nilexia Alexander. The teen was a runaway from Temple Terrace who was known to spend time in the Jackson Heights area.

Authorities said her body was discovered on West Floribraska Avenue near North Highland Avenue after officers responded to a report of several gunshots being fired just before 4 a.m. on May 6.

Police said they found cell phone evidence that placed Alexander inside the man's car around the time of the deadly shooting. Detectives executed a search warrant on Walker's car and sent the evidence to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

The results were said to have matched the 14-year-old's DNA.

Walker was arrested and booked into the Hillsborough County Jail without bond. According to arrest records, Walker is charged with first-degree premeditated murder with a firearm.
