The shooting happened shortly before 2:45 p.m. at Bill Beck Boulevard and Fortune Road.

A witness performed CPR on the shooting victim, but he died at the hospital.

The witness gave deputies a “good description” of the gunman, Lopez said.

He said deputies used technology to locate the motorcyclist, “matching the description to the T,” and they followed him to Michigan Avenue and East Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, where they arrested him -- only 10 minutes after the shooting.

Lopez said it is unknown what led up to the shooting, describing it as an “isolated incident.” But he said the two men knew one another.
