ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Orange County detectives said Wednesday they have made a sixth and final arrest in the death of 20-year-old Alexander Correa, who was fatally shot during a home invasion robbery in January.

The home invasion happened Jan. 14 at a home on Port Simbor Avenue, less than 5 miles from the University of Central Florida.

According to court documents, five people broke into the home thinking marijuana was being grown inside.

At some point, the documents said, there was a struggle that resulted in Correa being fatally shot.

Officials with the Sheriff's Office said Markos Asmat was arrested earlier this week on first-degree murder charges.

Previously officials with the Sheriff's Office had said Ramon Fernandez was the final arrest in the case. Fernandez was identified as a suspect in February and arrested in the Brooklyn borough of New York in May on a first-degree murder warrant.

In February, the first four suspects were arrested: Ashley Deane-Webb, Michael Salgado Soto, Taylor Massey and Daquon Gathers were arrested in the murder.
