Fayetteville Police Department announced Friday afternoon that they were trying to track down Keshawn Ayers, 26.
Ayers was wanted on murder charges stemming from a crime that happened on Dec. 31. That's when officers found a 2-year-old boy unconscious at a home on Malloy Street. He was rushed to the hospital but did not survive.
Ayers was looking after the child when the incident happened. Ayers was dating the 2-year-old's mother at the time.
After an autopsy determined the 2-year-old had been killed, police obtained warrants for Ayers' arrest.
They tracked him down late Friday night. He was arrested, taken to Cumberland County Detention Center and held without bond.
