Maryann Gantt-Moore sat in a Bridgeport courtroom Friday and watched something she’d given up on seeing - her brother’s alleged killer before a judge charged with murder.

“Sixteen long years. We finally got him,” Gantt-Moore told News 12 after Wanderson Marques, 46, was arraigned in Bridgeport Superior Court.

Harold Gantt, 49, was shot to death at his apartment building on Madison Avenue in August 2009. Bridgeport police said Gantt was killed in a second-floor hallway.

“That's my brother. That was my heart. It was just me and him, you know?” Gantt-Moore said. “You know how many nights I cried over this?”

Three days after Gantt's death, police obtained an arrest warrant in the case for Marques, who also lived in the building. But police believe Marques fled the United States shortly after and traveled to several countries.

Last August, his time on the run ended. Marques was taken into custody in Spain by the Spanish National Police, thanks to “a strong partnership between southern Europe and U.S. law enforcement,” according to Bridgeport’s director of public information, Tiadora Josef. Josef said Marques was extradited from Spain this week and arrived at the Bridgeport Police Department Thursday, where he was charged in the case and given a $5 million bond.

Gantt-Moore lives in South Carolina and just happened to be in Connecticut for a funeral when family learned the news.

“We was happy. We was jumping up because we thought we'd never find him,” she told News 12.

Marques was assisted by a Portuguese interpreter at his arraignment. The judge said Marques is a citizen of Brazil and has the right to contact that country’s consulate. He has no criminal record, but Judge Maria del Pilar Gonzalez kept bond at $5 million, calling him a serious flight risk based on his history. Marques was ordered to have no contact with witnesses named in his arrest warrant or Gantt’s family.

According to the warrant, neighbors told police, “while seated in their apartment, they heard approximately four gunshots fired in the hallway accompanied by yelling."

One witness said that when he opened the door, he “observed the victim, known to him as Harold Gantt, lying in the hallway covered in blood," the warrant stated.

The witness also "observed Wanderson Marques run down the hallway" to the apartment where he lived with his wife, "telling her to leave with the baby," the warrant said.

Marques then ran back toward the neighbor, "telling him to call police, looked at the victim lying on the ground, saying '[expletive] you,'" according to the warrant.

Police said shell casings at the scene matched those from bullets later found in Marques' apartment when they executed a search.

According to the warrant, Marques’ wife later contacted police and asked to talk. She told them Gantt and her husband didn't get along and on the night in question, Gantt had been knocking on their door. "Upon opening the door, a confrontation transpired" because her husband refused to give Gantt “a key for the downstairs storage area," the warrant said she told police. "

Both men were swearing and yelling at one another" when her husband pulled a gun, pointed it out the door and fired into the hallway, the warrant stated.

The woman also told police the relationship between her husband and the victim "had been tenuous ever since an accident in the apartment building's basement garage, which resulted in Mr. Gantt pointing a gun at Wanderson's head," according to the warrant.

But Gantt-Moore told News 12 her brother and Marques got along, and it was one of Gantt’s friends whom Marques had a problem with.

“I can't bring my brother back. He gone. So, I'm glad they caught him,” Gantt-Moore said.

If Marques can post bond, he’ll be on house arrest.
