LOS ANGELES – The man accused of fatally shooting a Houston teen who was visiting her sister in California is in police custody. Members of the FBI Fugitive Task Force arrested Cameron Frazier, 21, outside of his home in Vista, California on Monday.

According to investigators, Frazier shot and killed 17-year-old Kristine Carman on Jan. 6 during an attempted robbery outside of Jerry's Deli in Marina Del Rey.

According to police, Carman was sitting in a Honda Element along with two other women when an armed man approached the car and there was a confrontation. Carman, sitting in the the back seat was shot in the head. The gunman ran sped away in a gray SUV.
  
 The driver of Carman's car drove around the shopping center, stopping near a restaurant where an ambulance met them.
  
After the shooting, Carman's sister posted a message on Facebook suggesting the killing was part of a botched robbery attempt.
  
“My sister was just murdered in front of me in a robbery gone wrong. There's little room for okay or much less of anything else at this point,” said Carman's sister.

Carman attended Cypress Creek High school in 2014 before transferring to Jersey Village High School, and finally withdrawing from the Cy-Fair School district in April 2015 without graduating according to district officials.  For a time she and her sister shared a house in the 11500 block of Colonial Trail in northwest Houston.
