by

A young man who is not old enough to drink alcohol is under arrest in Utica after he allegedly fled the state of Florida on a murder charge.

The Utica Police Department arrested 20-year-old Nyquan Priester of Bradenton, Florida today, January 20, 2022, after receiving information that the suspect was in the city of Utica.

The homicide Priester is suspected of took place in Sarasota County, Florida. According to a Jan. 14, 2022 story by Jessica De Leon in the Bradenton Herald, the suspect, Nyquan Nathaniel “PK” Priester, allegedly shot and killed an 18-year-old who was believed to be a bystander and not the target of a shooting in a park on December 29, 2021.

The Utica Police Warrant Unit was assisted by the Oneida County Sheriff’s Warrant Unit, the New York/New Jersey Regional Marshall Task Force, and the Mohawk Valley Crime Analysis Center .

No injuries were reported as part of the capture.
