Mobile police have arrested a man for a murder that happened at a park three months ago.
Police said the man they arrested was already in jail on unrelated charges.
Authorities arrested 19 year old Isaiah Henderson for the shooting death of 56 year old Thornton Kitt.
Police said Kitt was shot to death in Tricentennial Park on Stanton Road on May 29.
Police said Henderson was already in jail on charges of disorderly conduct and providing false information.
Officer Christopher Levy with the Mobile Police Department said, "What they knew at the time was that three black males were seen running from the scene. Now, through the investigation, they were able to identify Isaiah Henderson as one of the men. The other two are still under investigation right now."
When asked if there could be other arrests in the case, Levy said, "As they gather evidence, that determination will be made."
Police say if you have any information on the shooting death of Thornton Kitt, call Crimestoppers at 208-7000.
