A New York man has been arrested in connection with a March 12 killing in the Somerset County town of Palmyra, authorities said Thursday.

Kareem Quattlebaum, 38, is charged in the homicide of Jaquan Humphries, 28, of the Mattapan neighborhood of Boston, according to a Maine State Police statement. 

The FBI New York field office arrested Quattlebaum on Wednesday around 1 p.m. in the Bronx, New York, state police said. Quattlebaum was taken to the New York Police Department central booking and will be held at the Rikers Island jail pending an extradition hearing, state police said.

The arrest resulted from an investigation involving the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit, the FBI Safe Streets Task Force in Maine and the FBI New York office, officials said.

Authorities say the investigation into Humphries’ death is ongoing. State police said previously that Humphries died from a gunshot wound in the apparent homicide. 

His body was found at 531 Madawaska Road — a home where the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office had executed multiple drug search warrants and made several arrests about six months prior. Humphries was believed to be living at the home, police said.

A Somerset County grand jury in August indicted Jacqueline McClure, 33, of Palmyra, on a charge of conspiracy to commit robbery. The allegation against McClure was linked to Humphries’ death, according to the attorney general’s office, which prosecutes all homicides and certain other crimes in Maine.

Officials have otherwise remained tight-lipped about the connection, and some court records in McClure’s case have been impounded and are unavailable for public review. McClure entered a not guilty plea at her arraignment in August.
