Florida Murder Suspect in Teen's Killing Found in Utica

A young man not old enough to drink alcohol is under arrest in Utica after allegedly having fled the state of Florida on a homicide charge.

The Utica Police Department arrested 20-year-old Nyquan Priester of Bradenton, Florida today, January 20, 2022 after receiving information that the suspect was in the city of Utica.

The homicide in which Priester is a suspect took place in Sarasota County, Florida. According to a story on January 14, 2022 by Jessica De Leon in the Bradenton Herald, the suspect, Nyquan Nathaniel "PK" Priester, allegedly shot and killed an 18-year-old believed to have been a bystander and not the target of a shooting in a park on December 29, 2021.

The Utica Police Warrants Unit was assisted by the Oneida County Sheriff's Warrants Unit, the New York / New Jersey Regional Marshall's Task Force, and the Mohawk Valley Crime Analysis Center.
