With the assistance of the Oshkosh Police Department, U.S. Marshals arrested Brown on Wednesday, April 15, in Oshkosh after locating him on the city’s north side using investigative technology, including Flock cameras.
He was taken into custody without incident.
What they're saying:
For Harris’ family, the arrest comes just days before what would have been his 49th birthday.
"It’s a good thing they got him," said Floyd Bealin, Harris’ brother. "Celebration, happy, relieved. Just waiting for justice to get its turn now."
Bealin said the arrest has brought some peace after months of uncertainty.

"It just put everybody in a worried state, I would say – just to know that person is still out there with the seriousness of the offense and all," he said. "[Now] my brother will be able to get some rest. We’ll be able to get some rest. I literally haven’t had no sleep since the time this case took effect."
Bealin described his brother as someone who connected with others easily. He would have turned 49 on April 24.
"Rest in peace to my little brother," he said. "Hate the fact that he won’t be here for his birthday. And we all miss him."
What we don't know:
Authorities have not said when Brown will appear in court in Milwaukee.
Editor's Note: In previous coverage, a close friend of Latroy Harris, Monte Mabra, said he was his brother. Both Mabra, and blood relatives of Harris want to clarify that Mabra was a close friend, not a blood relative.
