A man wanted in last month’s triple shooting captured on Facebook Live in Norfolk was arrested in Suffolk Wednesday afternoon.

Tony Angelo Roundtree, 25, was arrested after leaving a home on Green Ash Court in Suffolk as he hopped on a hoverboard and rode out of the cul-de-sac, according to a press release from the U.S. Marshals.

The Norfolk Police Department on Tuesday issued seven felony warrants for Roundtree and asked the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force for assistance in locating and apprehending Roundtree.

He is charged with three counts of malicious wounding, three counts of use of a firearm in commission of a felony and one count of maliciously shooting at an occupied motor vehicle.

According to the release, the shooting took place in the 900 block of Bainbridge Boulevard in Norfolk about 6:10 p.m. on July 12. Officers who responded found a vehicle with three men inside, all suffering from gunshot wounds. They were transported to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.

The shooting was captured on Facebook Live, which one of the men was using just before the shooting. Nearly 30 rounds can be heard on the video as the phone falls to the floor of the vehicle. Later, voices can be heard as people come to the aid of the men, pray over them and encourage them not to “go to sleep.” Paramedics arrive later and can be heard discussing the injuries.

Roundtree is being held at the Norfolk City Jail.
