After a two-week search for a man detectives think shot his neighbor in Wesley Chapel, Pasco County deputies have made an arrest.

About 9 p.m. Wednesday, Pasco SWAT members surrounded a residence at 38540 Burger Lane and arrested Edward Keith Stoddard Jr. without incident, sheriff's spokesman Doug Tobin said.

Stoddard, 28, of 6616 Mangrove Drive, is charged with first-degree murder in the April 23 death of a neighbor, Douglas F. Abrams, of 6255 Mangrove Drive.

The shooting happened at 6641 Mangrove Drive. The homes are in the Angus Valley community off Old Pasco Road, just north of County Road 54 (Wesley Chapel Boulevard). The street includes a mix of single- and double-wide homes.

Stoddard is expected to make a first court appearance at 1 p.m. today, Tobin said.
