A man suspected of fatally shooting a high school friend has been arrested after eluding police for two months, authorities said.
Christopher Lester Hollis, 22, was arrested Friday night after a traffic stop in Fresno, said Berkeley Police Lt. Wesley Hester.
Meleia Willis-Starbuck, 19, a Dartmouth College student home for the summer, was slain on a Berkeley street July 17, moments after calling Hollis for help as she and some friends argued with a group of young men. Police said she told Hollis to "bring the heat" -- meaning bring a gun.
Authorities believe that when Hollis arrived, he fired at the men from a car, unintentionally shooting Willis-Starbuck.
Hollis was held Sunday without bail on suspicion of murder.
