SARASOTA, Fla. — A man is behind bars tonight for shooting, killing a man in Sarasota earlier this week.

 On Sept. 17, a 34-year-old man died after being shot in the area of Leon Avenue and 24th Street Thursday afternoon. 

The Sarasota Police Department is investigating the incident as a homicide. 

Sarasota police first began investigating the shooting around 2 p.m. and believe it could have spanned two locations.

Police say the shooting appears to have happened near Leon Avenue and 24th Street before the man shot jumped into an SUV, which was later found by officers near 21st Street and Palmadelia. 

The man shot was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, where he later died. 

Now, a few days later, the police department announced the arrest of Tydarian Moore, 28, in the homicide investigation. Moore was arrested without incident in Bradenton with assistance from the Manatee County Sheriff's Office. 

He faces charges of homicide and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
