OAKLAND, Calif. -- Authorities have made an arrest in the shooting death of a man near the former Occupy Oakland encampment outside City Hall.

Police say 20-year-old Norris Terrell, of Oakland, was picked up last week in Louisville, Ky. Prosecutors have charged him with murder in the Nov. 10 slaying of 25-year-old Kayode Ola Foster, who was staying at the camp.

Police say Terrell also wounded a credit union teller with an errant bullet meant for Foster.

Three other people have also been arrested for assault in connection with the shooting. Police say 32-year-old Joseph Anthony Gholston, 20-year-old Excell McKinley and 18-year-old Carleon Roberson beat Foster before Terrell shot him.

Authorities say the shooting occurred after one of the suspects got into a dispute at the camp that might not have involved Foster.
