Masked Georgia man suspected in Florida double shooting arrested in Michigan, cops say

An Atlanta man accused of shooting two people inside a Deltona, Florida, home last week has been arrested near Detroit, according to the Volusia Sheriff's Office.

In a Facebook post, VSO said Malik J. McKenzie, 29, of Dallas, Georgia, was arrested Saturday by police in Southfield, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. He was booked on two counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of armed burglary.

Police said the shooting happened around 3 a.m. Monday, Aug. 19, at a home off East Houston Drive in Deltona, north of Orlando. Two people were found with gunshot wounds that are not considered life-threatening.

Shortly after the shooting, police released surveillance video showing a masked man walking alongside a home, appearing to check an exterior light and eventually the surveillance camera itself. Police asked for help identifying the masked suspect.

Volusia deputies said additional surveillance video, license plate readers and other technology helped identify McKenzie.

Police said surveillance video from another home captured a dark Nissan Altima and its license plate, which was registered to a pickup truck in Deltona. Detectives learned the license plate was taken in July. Additional surveillance video allegedly showed McKenzie taking that license plate.

Officers identified a Georgia license plate and a Florida license plate registered to McKenzie. The investigation eventually led to Michigan, where he and his vehicle were found.

He is being held in Michigan awaiting extradition to Florida, VSO said.
