A man sought in a Nov. 10 homicide in Biloxi surrendered to authorities on Wednesday, according to police.
Eddie Demetrius Baker, 29, was arrested on an active homicide warrant on Wednesday after turning himself in at the Biloxi Police Department. He was accompanied by his attorney.
Baker was wanted on a homicide warrant issued by Harrison County Justice Court Judge Albert Fountain in connection with a Nov. 10 shooting in Biloxi.
