Atlanta police say a second suspect, 25-year-old Shontavious Chestnut, was arrested in Pensacola, Florida in connection to the murder of Josh Richey.
Richey, a construction worker and father of four, was murdered on March 10th in the parking lot of a Kroger in Atlanta.
29-year-old Damarius Thompson was arrested in March of 2015.
Investigators say Richey saw someone trying to break into his vehicle and approached Thompson and Chestnut.
Richey was shot and later died from his injuries.
Police say a tip from the public helped to identify the BMW seen in surveillance video speeding away from the Kroger moments after the shooting.
Once investigators identified the car, they were able to identify Thompson as one of the suspects.
Police say Thompson has an extensive criminal history. He had just been released from the Carroll County Jail three days before allegedly shooting Richey.
