Jumping from one building to another in Malden as he tried to escape authorities, a New Hampshire man wanted in connection to a fatal shooting earlier this month ran out of luck.

Authorities on Tuesday arrested Giovanne Morris, 31, who allegedly shot and killed a 42-year-old man in Manchester, N.H., in the early morning of Nov. 18 near a diner in that city.

Morris had eluded police for nearly two weeks until investigators determined the fugitive had been staying at an apartment on Kennedy Drive in Malden. Massachusetts State Police teamed up with a United States Marshals Fugitive Task Force to make the arrest.

After members of the joint collaboration knocked the door to the apartment that Morris was staying at and announced themselves, the suspect escaped onto a fifth-floor balcony and jumped to the balcony of an adjacent apartment, according to authorities.

Officers positioned outside the building observed the leap, with an arrest team then gaining access to the balcony of the initial apartment where they gave Morris verbal commands to surrender peacefully.

Authorities said the suspect “eventually” adhered to their request before Morris was placed into custody.

Troopers took Morris to the State Police-Medford Barracks, with authorities booking him as a fugitive from New Hampshire, where he faces a charge of being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon. The charge stemmed from the fatal shooting, a release states.

Morris, last known to have an address in New Hampshire, was arraigned Tuesday in Malden District Court as a fugitive from justice, and prosecutors in both states are arranging his rendition to New Hampshire.

Morris is alleged to have shot and killed Carlos Rodriguez, of Manchester, N.H., near the Red Arrow Diner in the city.

Manchester Police received a call for a reported shooting in the area of 61 Lowell St., just after 2 a.m. on Nov. 18. Officers responded to the scene and found Rodriguez suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers had been dispatched to the area less than an hour beforehand for a reported motor vehicle crash, according to authorities.

Rodriguez died from his injuries later that day.

The shooting remains under investigation by Manchester Police and the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office.

Individuals involved in the shooting have been identified, while investigators are working to determine whether the person who shot Rodriguez acted in self-defense. Investigators believe there are additional bystanders who have yet to come forward to report what they may know about the incident.
