BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. – A 25-year-old man was arrested Monday in Broward County in connection with the fatal shooting of a transgender woman in Miami-Dade County.
Anthony Quinn Peyton is facing second-degree murder charges in the death of London Price.
Surveillance video captured the moments after the fatal shooting on Oct. 23 outside an apartment on Northwest 93rd Street.
A man is seen running from the crime scene with a gun in his hand. Police say they believe that is Peyton in the video.
A woman identified as Nedra Allen told Local 10 News that Price was her niece and was 26 years old. Allen said Price was a transwoman.
The family identified Peyton as the person who killed Price even before police did.
Danielle Price Lindsey, London’s mother, arrived from Louisiana with a U-haul Tuesday to clean out the apartment where her youngest child died, and lived, with the ex-boyfriend who is now accused in her murder.
Lindsey told Local 10 News that Peyton wasn’t getting along with his parents so “she gave this person a place to live so the person could have a home,” Price’s mother said.
Neighbors said that they heard the pair fighting about three weeks ago, which matches the time when Nedra Allen said she was supposed to “come take her away from that.”
Records show that Peyton had been arrested for violence twice before last year, but the charges were eventually dropped.
Her mother said that Price moved to Miami to “better herself” and was working at the Apple store at the Miami International Airport.
Lindsey was planning on heading back to Louisiana Tuesday night after cleaning out the apartment, which remains a crime scene.
Outside of the apartment and put out for trash was a suitcase and some garbage bags, which Lindsey said were Peyton’s belongings.
As of Tuesday morning, Peyton, who was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, was being held at the Broward County Main Jail waiting to be extradited to Miami-Dade to face charges.
