The Fayette County District Attorney’s Office has confirmed that Braedon Dickinson was apprehended early this morning in Baltimore. Authorities stated that Dickinson will be transported back to Fayette County, where he is expected to face homicide charges in connection with the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Lemaur Thompson Jr. in Uniontown last week.
According to investigators, Thompson was shot and killed in an incident that shook the Uniontown community and prompted an intensive search for the suspect. Law enforcement agencies worked across state lines to locate Dickinson, coordinating efforts that ultimately led to his capture in Baltimore without further incident.
Officials have not yet released full details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting, as the investigation remains ongoing. However, prosecutors indicated that Dickinson will be formally arraigned upon his return to Fayette County, where additional information about the case is expected to be presented in court.
Family and friends of Lemaur Thompson Jr. continue to mourn the loss of a young life taken too soon. Loved ones have described him as vibrant and full of promise, leaving behind grieving relatives and a community seeking justice.
Authorities are urging anyone with additional information related to the case to contact investigators. As Dickinson awaits extradition, the focus now turns to the legal proceedings ahead and the pursuit of accountability in the tragic death of Lemaur Thompson Jr.
