Fugitive Troy Thomas was finally arraigned in a United States court on Thursday for the 2011 murder of a man in Queens, New York.

A New York Daily News report said Thomas, 33, was charged with murder by New York Police Department detectives in the 106th Precinct following the first extradition case between the United States and Guyana in recent years.

Thomas is accused of killing Keith Frank at a house party in Richmond Hill on December 11, 2011. It was noted that he was identified as a suspect early in the investigation but by then he had already fled to Guyana, which doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the US.
