ORLANDO — A suspect in the fatal shooting of an Orlando police officer was captured Tuesday after a weeklong manhunt, authorities said.

The Orlando Police Department tweeted Tuesday night that 41-year-old Markeith Loyd was in custody.

The manhunt began with the Jan. 9 fatal shooting of Master Sergeant Debra Clayton outside of a Walmart store.

Before Clayton’s shooting, authorities had sought Loyd for questioning in the killing of his pregnant ex-girlfriend last month.

While at the store, Clayton was tipped off that Loyd was in the area.

She approached him in the parking lot and he fired multiple shots at her.

Hundreds of officers and deputies have been searching for Loyd, and a $100,000 reward was being offered for information that led to his arrest.
