Cobb County police think the culprits in a 2024 homicide have been caught.

Curtis Coleman, 43, of Powder Springs, was found shot to death in a car in the 22 hundred block of Powers Ferry Road, near I-285, on March 21 of last year.

A Cobb police spokesman says 21 and 23-year-old suspects arrested “without significant incident” in Pennsylvania by U.S. Marshals are awaiting extradition back to Georgia.

Both are charged with aggravated assault and felony murder.

Authorities say that Coleman was found dead in the parking lot of an extended stay hotel. Media reports at the time said he was struck by gunfire shortly after being flagged down. Cobb Police also said at the time that the crime appeared random.

There’s been no word on a motive.

[The Cobb County Courier has a policy of withholding or redacting the name of suspects unless and until the person is convicted in a court of law or enters a plea of guilty. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty, and the internet has no effective way of removing reports of arrest if the person is exonerated. We do make exceptions in high-profile cases or charges against public officials where exoneration is likely to be as widely publicized as the initial arrest]
