DeKalb Sheriff deputies have arrested three men on murder charges, catching one just before he was to flee to Alabama.

The fugitive squad arrested Aaron Fields and Derrelle Cartaz Williams on charges of murdering Alicia Monique Hodges during a shootout at an illegal strip club in Lithonia.

Hodges died at the house on Davidson Drive on Aug. 2 when the two men fired shots into the house, police said. Deputies got arrest warrants Tuesday and arrested Fields that same day, who they said was readying to head to Alabama where he was born. Williams turned himself in that same day after they questioned his relatives.

Meanwhile the squad also arrested Montedze Deon Harris in connection with the Aug. 22 shooting death of Keith Gibbs on Northlake Parkway in Tucker. They located and arrested Harris Thursday who is accused of shooting Gibbs several times.
