A woman captured on video surveillance in the execution-style killing of another woman on a New York City street over the summer has been arrested in Florida, authorities said Monday.
The suspect, who has not been identified publicly, was taken into custody in Jacksonville in connection with the Aug. 4 death of 42-year-old Delia Johnson.
The suspect identified in the arrest warrant is Claudia Banton, 42, according to a law-enforcement source. She has priors dating back to 1993, the source said. Further details about the arrest were not disclosed.
New York Police Commissioner Dermot Shea announced the arrest via Twitter.
"You can run, but the long arm of the law will find you," Shea wrote. "The woman responsible for the August 4th murder of a #Brooklyn woman has been apprehended by our partners in Jacksonville, Florida."
The brazen murder of Johnson was caught on security video. Johnson is shown leaning against a railing and talking to a group of people in front of a building in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood.

In the footage, the suspect calmly walks up to John and shoots her in the right temple and the thigh before casually walking back to a double-parked Mercedes SUV and driving away. Johnson was rushed to Interfaith Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Johnson’s brother, Mathis Johnson, told the New York Daily News that the attacker may have followed his sister from the funeral of another neighborhood resident earlier in the day.
