(Pennsville, N.J.) — A man sought in a York County movie theater shooting that killed a man and wounded a female bystander has been captured in New Jersey.

Federal marshals arrested Anu-Malik Johnson and another man without incident at a home in Pennsville early Wednesday.

Authorities will now seek to have the 21-year-old York man extradited back to Pennsylvania, though it’s not clear when a hearing will be scheduled or if Johnson has retained an attorney.

Johnson faces homicide, aggravated assault and weapons charges stemming from the Dec. 2 shooting of 22-year-old Andre White Jr. in West Manchester.

Authorities have described Johnson as “an extremely dangerous human being.”

The other man taken into custody is Jonathon Martin. The 31-year-old was charged with multiple offenses, including  two counts of attempted homicide with a firearm, by Springettsbury Township police in December 2016. Marshals say Martin fled York and had remained a fugitive.
