6LAS VEGAS (AP) ―

(8/1/2009) Federal marshals in Las Vegas said they've arrested the 36-year-old stepfather of a 6-year-old boy found beaten to death at a Los Angeles apartment July 23.

Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Melinda Kormos said Marcas Fisher had been sought on a warrant issued July 28 in the slaying of Dae'von Bailey.

Kormos said Fisher was found Wednesday by a multi-agency fugitive apprehension team in the West Las Vegas neighborhood. He'll be held at the Clark County jail pending his transfer in custody to California.

Los Angeles police said child welfare officials placed the boy with Fisher under a temporary custody agreement.

Police said Fisher was on probation for burglary and drug convictions and was convicted of gang rape when he was a teenager. LAPD detectives scheduled a news conference Wednesday morning to discuss Fisher's arrest.
