Tampa Police Homicide Detectives have arrested a suspect in the November 2011 murder of a teenager.

Detectives arrested Jose Guillermo Torres-Melvis, 19, on Wednesday morning, charging him with second-degree murder.

Torres-Melvis was charged with the shooting death of Jamarie Lavon Hodges, 16. Detectives received information that Torres-Melvis was a resident on River Resort Lane. They set up surveillance, and verified he was there.

When Torres-Melvis left the home, he was arrested without incident.

On November 6, 2011, a fight broke out in the 3900 block of Ellicott Street between a group of friends associated with Hodges and a group associated with Torres-Melvis. During the fight, detectives said one of Hodges’s friends was robbed. Hodges was trying to help his friend when Torrres-Melvis allegedly pulled out a gun and shot him. He was transported to a local hospital where he died.
