Detectives plan to announce the arrest at a 3 p.m. news conference Wednesday. Maryland State Police officials will also attend to discuss a connection between Fuller’s killing and a suspect who opened fire on a state trooper during a traffic stop in Baltimore on Tuesday.

Last week, authorities released surveillance video showing a person they identified as a suspect on the grounds of the senior facility.

Fuller was a retired Navy Reserve officer and attorney from Augusta, Maine, widely known for his philanthropic work.
