Atlanta police arrested a suspect on a felony murder charge nearly two months after he allegedly shot another man to death in southwest Atlanta.
Albert Roland, 38, was taken into custody Oct. 7 in connection with the death of Lance Hutson, according to Atlanta police spokesman Sgt. John Chafee.
Police were sent to the 500 block of Rockwell Street on Aug. 15 after a 911 caller reported hearing gunshots in the neighborhood, police previously said. Hutson, 31, was found lying on a sidewalk at the location. He had been shot multiple times.
Homicide investigators pronounced Hutson dead at the scene, Chafee said. They identified Roland as a suspect and obtained a warrant for his arrest Aug. 21, he said.
Authorities did not provide details about what motivated the fatal shooting.
Police located Roland at a location on Humphries Street in southwest Atlanta. He was taken to the Fulton County Jail, where he remains.
