Investigators identified the man they say is responsible for the crimes against Abdulrab, an Atlanta bartender. DeMarcus Brinkley was arrested the same morning in Griffin after crashing into another vehicle when officers attempted to stop his SUV, according to police.
Brinkley, 27, was injured in the crash and flown to Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center, police said. On Saturday, he was charged with murder, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, Atlanta police said.
On Tuesday, he was booked into the Fulton County jail after being released from the hospital. Brinkley is also facing traffic charges related to the crash in Spalding County, the Georgia State Patrol said.
Police did not release details on whether they think Brinkley knew Abdulrab.
