SoBe Murder Suspect Taken Into Custody

MIAMI BEACH, FL — The 33-year-old man wanted in connection with Sunday's murder of a woman in South Beach, has been taken into custody, according to Miami Beach police.

"The subject, Keith Brown, will now be brought to MBPD headquarters to be interviewed by detectives," confirmed Ernesto Rodriguez of the Miami Beach Police Department on Friday afternoon.

Rodriguez said Brown was taken into custody by Miami-Dade police on Friday.

Brown is suspected in the slaying of 32-year-old Latoya Michelle Wiggins, who was gunned down shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday morning at the northwest corner of 10 Street and Collins Avenue steps away from tourist-favorite Ocean Drive.

"Ms. Wiggins was known to our human trafficking investigators and was also a cooperative witness in an active but separate, human trafficking case," Rodriguez said.

He said Brown is suspected of opening fire at least three times toward Wiggins after he and the woman were involved in "some sort of altercation."

Rodriguez said Wiggins was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators used a 3-D forensic imaging system called FARO to map the crime scene.
