Arrest made in North Miami kidnapping, killing, MDSO says

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said an arrest has been made in connection with the abduction of a man from a North Miami apartment who was later found dead.

Devorise Carl Johnson, 21, now faces several charges, including first-degree murder and kidnapping with a weapon or firearm, according to an arrest form.

The death investigation spanned opposite ends of Miami-Dade County and began earlier this month with a shooting and abduction reported at a North Miami apartment complex over the weekend, according to investigators.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said 22-year-old Eddrick Bethune was abducted from the Aliro Apartments following a shooting around midnight on Oct. 4.

He was later found dead in South Miami-Dade near SW 216th St. and SW 189th Ave.

Residents said they heard dozens of gunshots during the shooting. 

Some neighbors captured video showing people climbing from a third-floor window and fleeing the scene during the shooting.

Witnesses also reported seeing two men wearing shirts marked "Police" struggling with and beating a man before forcing him into the back seat of a vehicle.

Detectives later located a vehicle matching the description of the suspects' car near where Bethune's body was found. 

The vehicle had been set on fire, according to investigators.
