Cobb Police said Monday that two men have been arrested in Pennsylvania as suspects in the shooting death of another man who was found in a car on Powers Ferry Road last year.
Cobb Police Sgt. Eric Smith said that Jayden Hooks, 21, and Malik Drake, 23, are awaiting extradition to Cobb County to face felony murder and aggravated assault charges in the killing of Curtis Coleman, 43, of Powder Springs.
Police said that Coleman was found shot to death on March 21, 2024, in a vehicle parked in the 2200 block of Powers Ferry Road. That’s near the intersection of Akers Mill Road, and police were called there in response to reports of an injured person.
In a release issued late Monday afternoon, Cobb Police didn’t offer any more details of what may have led to the shooting, which was investigated by its Major Crimes Unit.
Nor did Smith, in the release, indicate how the suspects were identified or captured, except to say that Hooks and Drake were taken into custody without “significant incident in Pennsylvania by U. S. Marshals.”
