Little Rock police on Sunday arrested a man in connection with a fatal shooting Saturday afternoon at Westside Wine & Spirits on Rodney Parham Road.

Patrick Brown, 34, was arrested on charges of capital murder. Brown surrendered to officers early Sunday morning after having barricaded himself inside a Meredith Court apartment near Reservoir Road, police spokesman Mark Edwards said.

Officers were called before 5 p.m. Saturday to the liquor store. They found liquor store employee Daniel Dunnahoo, 60, of Little Rock shot when they arrived. Dunnahoo was transported to a hospital and was later declared dead, police spokesman Mark Edwards said.

"It was a random shooting," Edwards said, adding that the shooting happened at the drive-thru.
