About 17 months after a man was shot and killed at an apartment complex in Lithia Springs, a suspect has been arrested.

Darryl Barksdale, 35, was arrested Tuesday at Windwood Apartments in Austell, a Douglas County sheriff representative said on Twitter.

Barksdale is charged in the October 2015 death of 29-year-old Marc Foster, who was shot at the Birch Landing Apartments.

Barksdale faces charges of malice murder, felony murder, first-degree home invasion, first-degree burglary and aggravated assault.

He is being held in the Douglas County Adult Detention Center.
