CINCINNATI — A man accused of a 2022 murder was arrested in Georgia earlier this month, Cincinnati police said in a press release.

The Cincinnati Police Department has been searching for Joshua Revels since the shooting and killing of 32-year-old James Witherspoon near a convenience store on West Galbraith Road in December 2022.

Police said Revels was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service in Decatur Georgia on August 18 and is currently in the DeKalb County Jail awaiting extradition back to Hamilton County.

On Dec. 22, 2022, police were dispatched to a convenience store on West Galbraith Road at around 1:20 p.m. for reports of a shooting.

When they arrived they discovered an unresponsive man and a woman suffering from gunshot wounds, according to Cincinnati police. Fire department personnel attempted to revive the man, but he was pronounced dead.

The woman was treated at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries.
