San Diego police Monday were holding a man believed to be responsible for a 1987 slaying in Miami Beach.
Roland Stewart, 29, phoned police at 8 a.m. Monday and told them he had shot and killed Orlando Hawkins on Aug. 11, 1987, said Dave Cohen, a police spokesman.
Officers picked up Stewart at the Plaza International Hotel in Mission Valley and took him to police headquarters for questioning.
Miami Beach police were expected to arrive in San Diego today to question Stewart, Cohen said. San Diego police were unsure of the circumstances of the killing, and Miami Beach homicide detectives could not be reached.
