Authorities believe they have solved a five-year-old murder case with an arrest Monday.
Atlanta police and investigators with the Fulton County Cold Case Squad arrested 36-year-old Andre Loyal and charged him with murder in the October 2005 death of Addonis Cunningham.
Cunningham, 15, was shot while walking toward a convenience market on Jonesboro Road. He attended South Atlanta High School, but his mother withdrew him from the school four days after a fight with some other teenagers, a school system spokesman said at the time.
Loyal was arrested Monday and taken to the Fulton County Jail, police confirmed.
Loyal was previously in the Fulton County Jail in 2007 for criminal damage to property, jail records show.
