A fourth suspect, 18-year-old Christopher Valdes, the alleged getaway driver for Clarke, was arrested in Broward County Monday on a charge of accessory after the fact, authorities said.
Sheriff's office officials said Ruiz was at her home in the area of Northwest 189th Street and Northwest 63rd Avenue Saturday night when Clarke arrived and the two got into an argument over money.
Clarke pulled out a gun and shot Ruiz, then got into a car driven by Valdes and fled the scene, officials said.
