A suspect in the slaying of a Miami Beach woman more than two decades ago has been arrested.
Media outlets report 53-year-old Dale Ewers faces charges of murder, s3xual battery, armed robbery and kidnapping in Mercedes Perez’s death. He was arrested in Jamaica in October and extradited Wednesday to Florida.
Police say Ewers shot 34-year-old Perez to death inside her South Beach apartment in 1990 and raped her friend.
The case went unsolved for years until police say DNA evidence from the crime scene was tested in 2012, linking Ewers to Perez’s death. At that time, Ewers was living in Jamaica after having been deported there following a 2008 arrest on unrelated charges in Massachusetts.

The lengthy extradition process held up his arrest.
It’s unclear if Ewers has an attorney.

So how come when dem dip him in 2008 they didn’t ID him? The bottom portion of the story say the decease was his “partner”, did the rape victim not know who he was why it took dna to id him after all these years?
