An Atlanta man is in the Cobb County jail after police say he fled to Arkansas from a Mableton trailer park where he allegedly shot and killed a man.

Francisco Madera, 31, is accused of killing 27-year-old Juan Carlos Zambrano-Canales on Oct. 14.

Madera, who lives in southwest Atlanta, was booked into jail about 12:30 p.m on Sunday, jail records show. He is charged with felony murder and aggravated assault.

The shooting was reported at a trailer at 42 Winnstead Drive, across the Chattahoochee River from Fulton County’s Charlie Brown Field.

According to a warrant, Madera fired four rounds, two of which hit the victim.

Police haven’t released a possible motive.

The spokesman said Madera drove away from the scene. He was later arrested at a hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Madera is being held without bond.
