A suspect who spent more than seven months at large after allegedly killing his cousin in East Point has been arrested.
Jaylen Hill is accused in the February killing of Righteous Hill, East Point police said when they last provided an update July 3. Jaylen Hill was booked into the Fulton County Jail on Oct. 2 on two counts of murder and one count each of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, jail records show.
On Feb. 28, officers responded to the 1700 block of Connally Drive, just south of Langford Parkway, and found Righteous Hill suffering from multiple gunshot wounds around 9 p.m. He had been shot in the front entry of his home.
Officials believe the cousins got into an argument before gunfire rang out, police spokesman Sgt. James Watkins said.
Righteous Hill was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died.
