Shortly after, police say Rico Arnold, 19, was pulled over in Clayton County and identified as one of the suspects.

Arnold was arrested and charged with one count of murder and 10 counts of aggravated assault.

He is currently being held in the Fulton County Jail.

Police are still asking for the public’s help in identifying the other three suspects. It’s unclear which of the surveillance photos depicts Arnold.
