WASHINGTON (AP) — A suspect has been arrested in the death of an FBI employee who authorities say was an "unintended target" in a shooting in southeast Washington.

The Washington Post reports (http://wapo.st/1QiK0zr) 29-year-old Kelby Ronald Gordon was arrested Sunday and charged with second-degree murder in the death of Gabriel Turner.

District police say the 46-year-old Turner, a custodian for the FBI, was found fatally shot outside on March 24.

Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said Monday that Turner wasn't the intended target in the shooting.

Court documents reveal detectives also recovered surveillance footage showing Turner walking as another person walks behind him. The second person quickly ducks and then runs as a gunman fires toward that man, who police think was the intended target.

It's unclear whether Gordon has an attorney.
