CARROLL COUNTY, Ga. - The "armed and dangerous" suspect wanted out of Troup County for the murder of a 42-year-old man on Monday was arrested, the GBI said.

Jearecki Evans, 36, who had an outstanding warrant for murder, was arrested in Carroll County by US marshals and a SWAT team on Friday.

Hogansville Police Chief Jeffrey Sheppard said those warrants stem from the deadly shooting of Lerocco Boyd who was found by officers shortly after 1 p.m. in a yard along Oak Street.
