Jonathan Peden, arrested late Sunday in connection to the murder of Holly Richardson in 2014, is expected to appear in court this morning.
West Palm Beach police arrested Peden, 30, just over a year from when the 34-year-old single mother was killed. Peden is charged with murder while engaged in a felony offense, court records show.
Because the case is ongoing, no additional information was released, said West Palm Beach Police Sgt. David Lefont.
Richardson, who worked two jobs including as a surgical technician at the Center for GI Endoscopy, was shot and killed a few blocks from Good Samaritan Medical Center on Oct. 23, 2014.
Richardson was found shortly before 11 p.m. on that date, fatally shot in her blue four-door Kia on Madeira Court just off Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard and west of North Dixie Highway.
West Palm Beach Police Detective Regina Wood said recently there had been no new developments in the case.
Richardson’s mother, Robyn Richardson, pleaded for people to come forward with details about her daughter’s death as the anniversary of the shooting neared.
“She was so kind-hearted, she would make everyone laugh,” Robyn Richardson said in a recent interview with a Palm Beach Post reporter. “It’s rough. … I just really want someone to come forward, to do the right thing. Someone knows something, I know that.”
Richardson lived and worked a few blocks from where she was shot. Surveillance video from a BP gas station near where the shooting occurred captured some of the final moments of her life and was one of the few leads that police shared publicly.
