SEATTLE -- Police officers on Thursday arrested a man wanted in connection with a deadly shooting at a Seattle restaurant and a drive-by shooting in West Seattle.

Officials said Rey Alberto Davis-Bell was arrested about 11:16 a.m. in the Rainier Valley neighborhood.

More than 100 police officers had been scouring the city since Wednesday's murder, and were conducting surveillance when they spotted Davis-Bell at a house near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr Way South and South Elmgrove Street. When he saw police, Davis-Bell tried to run off but only managed to run three blocks before he was captured.

He was armed when caught, but no one was injured.

"We knew we had an individual that was very dangerous. (He was) somebody that needed to be taken off the streets as quickly as possible," said Asst. Police Chief Nick Metz .

Davis-Bell, 23, was being sought in a shooting Wednesday at the Philadelphia Cheese Steak restaurant in the city's Central District that left the owner dead and a customer seriously wounded.

Investigators said a man walked into the restaurant and opened fire, hitting the two men.

"He was laying, bleeding on the ground, and they were working on him. Then the paramedics ran inside and said one of he cooks was shot," said Vanessa Chester, a witness.

Both men were rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where the owner of the restaurant, 32-year-old Degene Barecha, later died.

Seattle police said they believe the shooting was connected to a drive-by shooting near the Longfellow Creek Apartments in West Seattle on Wednesday morning.

At least seven shots were fired at the window of the apartment where Davis-Bell's girlfriend reportedly lives.

"When I'd seen the bullet holes, my hair just stood up on the back of my neck just like that," said John Telnus, who lives in the apartment complex. "Couple of inches more, that would have been it."

There were no injuries in that incident.

Police believe the motive in the shootings may have been the result of a domestic dispute and that Davis-Bell tried to kill his girlfriend.

Davis-Bell is a known gang member and has served time in prison in the past.  

Investigators said Davis-Bell will be booked into the King County Jail for investigation of murder, attempted murder, and assault.

Killed restaurant owner was hardworking newlywed

Friends and relatives have been stopping by to pay their respects at the restaurant where Barecha was gunned down.

Customers of the restaurant said they can hardly believe Barecha is gone.

"He was a nice young man, very hardworking, nice young man. It's very sad," said Lionel Lewis, a customer.

Family members of Barecha, an Ethopian immigrant, said he had just begun a new chapter in his life.

"He just got married, he was back home on vacation, and his wife was supposed to be here within three months (from Ethiopia)," said Samson Berisa, a relative.

Barecha's family members are trying to raise money to send his body back to Ethiopia.

Former restaurant owner shot to death in 2003

This was the second shooting connected to the Philadelphia Cheese Steak in the past five years.

On July 31, 2003, Troy Hackett, the co-owner of what was then known as "Philly's Best" was shot to death in the Central District as he drove home from the restaurant. That case remains unsolved.
