The man who was arrested in South Florida is wanted in Oklahoma for the murders of four people at a marijuana farm.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said that the suspect in the killings was taken into custody by the Miami Beach police.
The vehicle he was driving was flagged by a car tag reader. The suspect will be extradited to Oklahoma to face charges.
The photo provided by the U.S. marshals shows a man with his hands behind his back.
Four people, three men and one woman, all Chinese citizens, were shot to death on a 10-acre property northwest of Oklahoma City. A Chinese citizen was wounded and taken to an Oklahoma City hospital.
The victims had not yet been identified, and officials were still trying to notify next of kin.
The name of the suspect was being kept under wraps to avoid endangering other people.
The suspect was inside the building for a long time before the executions began. This doesn't seem to be a random incident based on the investigation so far.
The suspect knew the people who were found dead.
"We don't know if they're related, or if they're coworkers, but we believe they were all familiar with each other."

The case is being looked into as a quadruple murder. The Oklahoma Bureau of narcotics is looking into the matter.
Criminals have been targeted for growing and selling marijuana for the black market. Mark Woodward said it was too early to say that was a focus of the investigation.
Oklahoma state law requires that marijuana farms have a license from the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority. Is it legal or was it fraudulent? That will be included in our investigation.
There is an active license for a medical marijuana grow business in the area.
None of the 14 marijuana growing operations in the area responded to email inquiries from The AP, and officials wouldn't identify which one was at the site of the shootings.
Thanks to an open-ended law that put in place fewer restrictions than other states, the medical marijuana industry boomed in Oklahoma.
Voters will decide in March if the drug should be legalized.
In this month's election, Maryland and Missouri became the 21st and 22nd states to allow recreational marijuana. Voters in Arkansas, North Dakota and South Dakota did not approve of legalization.
That's right.
Hollingsworth was in Kansas. Writers from Little Rock, Arkansas, Dallas, and Denver contributed.
