Feb-09-2024VIDEO 1 Body cam Traffic stop leads to arrest of man wanted for 1994 Atlanta cold case murder
A man who'd been wanted in Atlanta for murder for nearly 28 years was finally caught this week during a routine traffic stop, according to the FBI.
The agency said in a release that Muhammed Bilal El-Amin was captured by the Oconee County Sheriff's Office, near Athens, in the course of the traffic stop.
It was not clear how deputies tied El-Amin to the 1994 crime during the traffic stop.
He'd had a FBI reward out for his arrest since the early 2000s, after allegedly shooting a man in the face with a handgun at the Oakland City MARTA station in Atlanta in November 1994.
