Officers stopped a man for drinking from an open container in the Bronx only to later find out that he was wanted for the murder of a homeless man over the summer, police said. The suspect, 37-year-old Jorrell Shoals, was picked up by officers in the South Bronx around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday after he was seen drinking alcohol from an open container in public, according to police. When officers looked up Shoals, they found he was wanted on a murder charge from the summer. Police had been looking for Shoals, originally of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, in connection with the death of Ramon Cruz in the Bronx. The 54-year-old Cruz had been slashed to his face on June 23, and was taken to the hospital. Nearly a month later, on July 17, Cruz died as a result of his injuries. Shoals was arrested and charged Tuesday with second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter. Attorney information for Shoals was not immediately clear.
