One of the twins wanted on a murder charge in Richmond has been arrested in Lexington, according to court records.

Eltron Bailey, 27, had been wanted for more than a month by Richmond police. He and his brother, Elton Bailey, are accused of the Oct. 7 killing of Jaicoatai Dean, 21.

Lexington police arrested Eltron Bailey in Fayette county on charges of carrying a concealed weapon, parole violation, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, trafficking in heroin, violations of conditions of release and being a persistent felony offender.

Dean was shot and killed Oct. 7 outside apartments on Foxhaven Drive in Richmond. Four days later, the warrants for Eltron and Elton Bailey were issued.

Lexington police also charged Kierra Berry, 26, with hindering prosecution, according to jail officials.

She was spotted driving Bailey and fled from police Sunday, before being captured Monday with Bailey, according to WKYT.

Elton Bailey has not been found. Richmond police referred to Elton and Eltron Bailey as “armed and dangerous” last month.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Elton Bailey is asked to call 911.
