FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police have arrested a second suspect in a deadly truck stop attack.

Ronnie Lanard Tyson, 20, has been charged with murder, and is being held without bond.

Tyson's friend has already been charged in the crime.

Investigators said Tyson pepper-sprayed several people gathered outside a Weston truck stop, as his accomplice tried to steal a gold chain from someone in the distracted crowd.

A woman overcome by the fumes fell and hit her head. She later died at the hospital.
