BALTIMORE (AP) — Authorities on Friday arrested a Maryland teenager in the fatal shooting of a builder's representative inside a suburban model home, a killing that's rattled real estate agents and others who sell the kind of properties where the victim was attacked.

Police in Anne Arundel County identified the arrested suspect as Dillon Nicholas Augustyniak, an 18-year-old from the Maryland town of Jessup. He was captured early Friday in Baltimore and charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and other charges.

Investigators allege he fatally shot Steven Wilson, 33, in the model home where he was working late Wednesday afternoon. The married father of two young children, who was employed as a sales and marketing representative for builder Ryan Homes, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police Chief Timothy Altomare said robbery was the motive. In charging documents, police allege the teen stole Wilson's phone and laptop and investigators believe he tried to sell the gun he used in the killing.
