Delaware State Police say they have the person responsible for a deadly shooting at a church fundraiser in Newark.

Police have arrested Monir George of White Hall, Pennsylvania.

They say George walked into a Hilton Hotel banquet hall in during the fundraiser Sunday night, and opened fire. Eighty people were inside at the time of the shooting. The victim, 63 year old, Malak Michael, who was leading St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church of Delaware’s to build a new church, was shot in the upper chest. He was rushed to the hospital but later died.

Police say George’s differences with the church’s policies and with the building of the new facility led to the shooting. A priest from the church says George was not a member of the
congregation, but he had attended services there twice six or seven years ago.

Monir George is being held without bond.
