According to Williams, police responded to 35 Abercrombie Road in Phenix City at 4:35 a.m. March 14 and discovered Simmons had been fatally shot.

Investigation into the homicide led to warrants for the arrest of Jaquandre Shyontez Bowen, 24.

Around 10:30 a.m. Monday, the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force served an arrest warrant to Bowen at the Grand Reserve Apartments, off of Williams Road in Columbus.

Bowen was taken into custody without incident, and will be held in the Muscogee County Jail pending an extradition hearing to bring him back to Alabama.

Once in Alabama, he will receive his 72 hour hearing, the press release says.
