The suspect appeared before a Magistrate this morning but was denied bond.
Ergas said officers had been trailing Sinkfield and captured him after they set up a rolling roadblock on the freeway. "It's been a very exhausting investigation. We were able to catch him with a lot of hard work," Ergas said.Camera surveillance video played a significant role in helping detective solve this murder. A camera mounted upon the a Mechanicsville apartment turned out to be a critical, silent witness.
Fellow suspects, Jquante Crews, 25, and 20-year-old Demario Ware have already been arrested for their part in the boxer's death and are in jail.
Sinkfield has been charged with murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. His attorney, John Ash, s made no comments to the press at this time.
