An arrest has been made in the murder of an 8-year old girl.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says 20-year old Andrew James Thomas was arrested on Monday in Coral Springs.

He's accused in the drive-by shooting on Friday night that led to the death of Ronziyah Atkins, while she played outside her home in Belle Glade.

There have also been reports of another shooting outside that home Sunday night.

PBSO was offering a $25,000 reward in the case and deputies showed up at a community prayer vigil that was hosted by the City of Belle Glade on Sunday.

Thomas will be booked into the Broward County Jail and held for Palm Beach County officials on charges of First Degree Murder, Attempted First Degree Murder and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
