One of the first people Mina said he called after Loyd was caught was Clayton's husband, Seth Clayton, who expressed both relief and concern that Loyd was captured just around the corner from the home of Clayton's mother, Mina said.
Authorities launched a massive manhunt last week in response to Clayton's death. Law enforcement was able to locate Loyd by \"tireless\" and \"great police work,\" rather than anonymous tips, Mina said. Several agencies, including the Orlando Police Department, the Orange County Sheriff's Office, U.S. Marshals, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security and the FBI participated in the hunt for Loyd. Last week, the reward for information leading to Loyd’s capture was raised to $125,000.
\"I was extremely happy that this dangerous person was off the streets,\" Mina said when asked by a reporter why he was seen smiling in the video of Loyd being led into the police station.
More arrests are pending for anyone who helped Loyd evade police, Mina said. The investigation has revealed that Loyd received help and the home that he was found in has ties to some of his associates, Mina said. Police do not know how long Loyd was in the home before he was caught, the police chief said.
An investigation of the arresting officer's use of force will be launched, per standard procedure, Mina said.
In a statement, Florida Gov. Rick Scott said Loyd will be \"held to the fullest extent of the law.\"
\"It is sickening that anyone would commit senseless violence against our brave first responders,\" Scott said. \"Ann and I continue to pray for the families of the fallen heroes and hope today's news provides some relief.”
