Suspect in deadly southeast Atlanta shooting arrested after three-month manhunt

ATLANTA - A man wanted in connection with a deadly shooting in southeast Atlanta earlier this year has been taken into custody, authorities announced Tuesday.

Aldrickus Brown, 45, was arrested April 15 in Conyers with the assistance of the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, according to the Atlanta Police Department. 

What we know:

Brown is facing charges of murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

The backstory:

The charges stem from a shooting that occurred on the morning of January 30 at a home along Wylie Street SE near Cleveland Strets. Officers responding to a report of a person shot discovered a man inside a vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

He has since been transported to the Fulton County Jail for processing.
