Arrest made in fatal shooting of man found dead in car day after being reported missing

Authorities in Conway have made an arrest in the fatal shooting of a man who was found dead in a vehicle after being reported missing.

The Conway Police Department said in a statement that Brayland Johnson, 23, faces a charge of first-degree murder in the killing of 56-year-old Randy Daniels. He was arrested on Wednesday.

Daniels was found dead in a vehicle Tuesday at Salem Park Apartments a day after his family reported him missing. He hadn't been heard from since Friday.

Authorities say the motive in the killing remains unclear. Johnson and Daniels reportedly worked together.

Investigators think Johnson shot Daniels inside the vehicle on Friday and then drove it to the apartment complex. No other arrests are expected.
