Detectives signed a warrant for murder for 29-year-old Duane Lucas, whose last known address is on Sparhawk Street in Akron, earlier Tuesday.

Lucas was arrested in the 500 block of North Howard Street in Akron, around 8:56 p.m. Tuesday night. 

Around 10:40 a.m. officers responded to the 2500 block of Romig Road for a report of an argument in which shots were fired. 

When officers arrived they found 31-year-old Brittany Littlejohn on the outside patio with several gunshot wounds.
