Jackson police said in a news release that Shaun Brown, 17, "confessed to being responsible for the death" of James "Jimmy" Johnson. Brown was arrested late Tuesday night, police said.
Investigators executed a search warrant Wednesday morning at a home on Delmar Street. Officers were seen carrying a red hooded sweatshirt from the house that was similar to one worn by a suspect in a surveillance photo released by the Jackson Police Department earlier this week.
Officers were also searching a wooded area Wednesday for the gun they believe was used to kill Johnson, 56, of Ganado, Texas. Johnson was staying at the Motel 6 off Interstate 55, where he was shot and killed
Family members said Johnson went outside to check on his boat and saw someone burglarizing it. He was then shot in the face, police said.
Brown is charged with capital murder, police said.
Johnson was to compete this week in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open tournament on the Ross Barnett Reservoir. Tournament organizers plan to honor him and his family during the event, which begins Thursday.
