U.S. Marshals caught 15-year-old Rasheed Banks Jr. Monday in Camden. He's accused of killing 50-year-old Michael Salerno last month.

Police say Salerno was shot when he tried to stop three people from stealing his car in the area of 12th and Porter Streets. 

Brittney Decker said Salerno, a local handyman, was like a stepfather to her. He was her late mother's longtime boyfriend.
