FINANCIAL DISTRICT — Police have arrested a suspect in the murder of a man at the South Street Seaport, they said.

Londell Squire, 21, was caught Wednesday in Richmond Va., 1010Wins reports. He allegedly shot Brooklyn deejay Omar Trent in the head Aug. 22 during a fight in a parking lot near lower Manhattan’s Pier 17.

Trent, 31, was killed during a massive brawl that started aboard the Atlantica, a three-story party yacht docked at the Seaport, the New York Post reports. The fight, allegedly over a woman, broke out on the boat and spilled onto the tourist hotspot once the boat landed, the Post reports.
