A man seen on camera fatally stabbing a homeless man three months ago was arrested late Tuesday night and charged with murder, an FBI official said.
Authorities received a tip leading them to Randall Hampton, 56, and arrested him at a northwest Atlanta home, FBI Atlanta spokesman Kevin Rowson said in a statement.
Johnnie Wallace, 53, was found stabbed Nov. 4 on Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard and taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported. Hampton was added to Atlanta's "most wanted list" Feb. 1.
Atlanta police say Hampton and Wallace got into a fight before the stabbing. The entire incident was caught on camera.
