A Baltimore woman was arrested Thursday by U.S. marshals in Ohio in connection to a fatal shooting in the city last month that was captured on video.

Detectives found Unique Thorn, 26, at a residence in Massillon, Ohio, and booked her into the county jail, where she is awaiting extradition to Baltimore, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

She will be charged with first-degree murder, according to the Baltimore Police Department.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a 31-year-old woman with a gunshot wound in her upper body, police said. The victim, Shy’Keema Turner, was taken to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead, according to police.

A witness captured the deadly shooting on a video that circulated widely on social media. The cellphone footage shows a woman with a gun chasing another woman down a sidewalk lined with rowhomes, while several bystanders shout, WJZ reported.
