LATEST: The daughter of late blues legend Muddy Waters was arrested on murder charges on Friday (12MAR04), in connection to the 1996 shooting of a man during a drug deal.

ROSALIND MORGANFIELD, 34, surrendered to police in Florida after a warrant was issued for her arrest.

TIMOTHY HARRINGTON, 19, was shot during a deal involving three pounds (1.36 kilograms) of marijuana, say authorities. His remains were found in 2000. The identification of Harrington's remains led detectives to focus on Waters' daughter and DAVID MYHAND, 38. Police have yet to reveal what tied them to the crime.

Morganfield and Myhand were charged with first-degree murder and could get the death penalty if found guilty.

Myhand - whose father died in 1983 - was arrested on Wednesday (10MAR04) and jailed without bail.
