Police have charged a man in connection with a homicide on Outer Drive on Saturday night after he was arrested later that night in connection with an unrelated DUI hit-and-run incident. 

James A. Devoe Jr., 33, of the 1300 block of Pershing Court, is charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, according to police.

Officers found a man dead inside a home in the first block of Outer Drive at 7:50 p.m. Saturday. Police have not released the man's name. At the time police said they were looking for a heavyset black male in dark clothes driving a dark blue Volkswagen Jetta.

Later Saturday night, police arrested a man following a DUI hit-and-run case. Police spokesman Wayne Gilbert did not have additional information on the circumstances of the hit-and-run Sunday night.

After an investigation, police charged Devoe in connection with the homicide, Gilbert said. Devoe faces charges in connection to the hit and run as well.
