PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - The man wanted for a brazen shooting at a Providence apartment building on New Year's Day, turned himself into U.S. Marshals Friday afternoon.

Only Eyewitness News camera were there when David Roman, 30, along with his attorney Artin Coloian, walked into the Federal building at Kennedy Plaza shortly before 3 p.m. and gave himself up to Marshal Steven O'Donnell.

Police issued a warrant for Roman's arrest shortly after the 7 a.m. shooting on January 1. Video surveillance from the 861 Broad St. apartment building shows Roman enter the building then knock on the door to apartment 210.

On the other side, his ex-girlfriend Shirley Cepeda and her boyfriend Rungo Munoz.

Police say Roman was angry because he believed Munoz gave his 13-year-old daughter alcohol. The video shows the door open and Roman open fire. Three bullets struck Munoz, hitting him in the arm, back and chest. A fourth bullet flew into the apartment.

Police say Munoz could have been the first homicide of the year as one bullet missed his heart by less than two inches. He was in good condition earlier this week at Rhode Island Hospital.

Roman has been charged with aggravated assault with a firearm. The Marshals service said it transported him to Providence police so he could be arraigned on the charge.
