Streets was taken into custody on Saturday afternoon in Maryland by the Baltimore County Police Department's Fugitive Unit and will be extradited back to North Carolina.
Authorities believe that Streets took a handgun from a home on North Windsor Drive in Fayetteville around 8:15 p.m. on Thursday, then ran to a home in the same neighborhood and opened fire.
Police were investigating the robbery when the shooting happened.
"It's unsettling to know that it literally happened within steps of your house," said Crystal Waddell.
Anyone who knows where Streets is should contact Det. D. Arnett at 910-929-2565 or Crime Stoppers at 910-483-TIPS (8477).
Police said Viera-Medina, who lived in the home that was robbed, died Friday of gunshots to his arm and chest.
The shooter ran away and was last seen in the 1200 block of Ramsey Street.
