GREENVILLE -- Eric Dominique Holloway, 23, has been arrested in connection with the murder of Walter Clayton Malloy Sr.
Greenville Police arrested Holloway at his home, on the 1000 block of W. 5th Street, just after 4:30 Thursday afternoon.
Holloway had his red and white Buick towed Saturday morning by the victim's towing company, Clay's Wrecker Service, according to police.
Holloway shot Malloy, 59, and the suspect's Buick crashed into one of the company's wreckers, police said.
Police wouldn't confirm that Holloway was behind the wheel but say he was the only person involved with Saturday's murder.
Police interviewed Holloway on the day of the murder but didn't have enough evidence to arrest him then, Greenville Police Chief William Anderson said at a press conference.
Police obtained an arrest warrant Thursday after a tip from Crimestoppers.
Holloway has three prior convictions for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, all in 2007; he was out on probation the day Malloy was murdered.
Holloway is expected in court Friday morning, when a judge will likely set a bond.
