The driver of a pickup truck accused of killing a motorcyclist in DeKalb County on Sunday before fleeing the scene is now behind bars, police said.
El Amin Muhammad, 63, of Ellenwood, was arrested Tuesday afternoon on multiple charges, including vehicular homicide, felony hit-and-run, failure to yield and driving without a license, DeKalb police spokeswoman Michaela Vincent said.
Muhammad is accused of pulling out in front of a motorcycle driven by 29-year-old Alvin Robinson as he left a gas station on Bouldercrest Road just before 6 p.m. Sunday, authorities said.
