BIDDEFORD — A New York City man has been arrested after being charged with murder in connection with a 2014 Biddeford shooting that left two dead.

Fuquan Prince Wilson, 36, was arrested Monday morning by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force in the Bronx, according to police.

After a York County Grand Jury secretly indicted him last month, Wilson was charged with murder in connection with the July 6, 2014, shooting deaths of Russell Lavoie, 42, of Old Orchard Beach and Jeffrey Lude, 37, of Biddeford, which occured in an apartment on Western Avenue, Maine State Police Spokesman Stephen McCausland said in a statement released today. 

Less than a month after the shooting, police said Wilson, who had fled the state, was the shooter and asked the public for assistance in locating him. But until the grand jury indictment, Wilson had only been charged with possessing a firearm as a felon.

Wilson is being held at the Manhattan Detention Center and extradition proceedings to bring him back to Maine will begin soon, according to McCausland.
