A suspect was arrested Friday in the fatal shooting of a man in southwest Atlanta last month.
Cartez Dwayne Tye was taken into custody for allegedly killing Delance Blunt, Atlanta police said. He is in the Fulton County Jail.
On April 24, a wounded Blunt was found while walking along I-20.
Atlanta police Capt. Adam Lee III previously told the AJC that some "good Samaritans" picked up Blunt, who was trying to flag down vehicles for help on I-20 westbound near the Fairburn Road overpass around 2 a.m.
Blunt was driven to a gas station in the 4300 block of Fulton Industrial Boulevard to meet police and an ambulance. He was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he later died.
