A 24-year-old Georgia man was arrested Friday in connection to the murder of a 25-year-old woman who was found underneath a parking lot staircase, Atlanta Police said.
Ja’Keivious Arnold was taken into custody on Friday in Chamblee in connection to the death of 25-year-old Mitchel T. Dang; police said he’s charged with murder, robbery and kidnapping.
Atlanta Police would later uncover that the Norcross woman was kidnapped, robbed of her cellphone, and then murdered by a total stranger.
Police said they responded to a call at around 7 a.m. on Aug. 30 regarding an injured person in a parking lot located on 75 Martin Luther Jr. Drive near Underground Atlanta
Not much is known about what led up to the incident or how exactly Dang died, other than the fact that he was found underneath the parking lot staircase.
The then 25-year-old had asked her mom if she could go dancing with friends at Alley Cat Atlanta, which is a music venue. However, what actually happened once she got downtown is under investigation.
The family now focuses on a shrine for Mitchel, placed on what would have been her 26th birthday. It will be displayed for 49 days, as part of their Buddhist religion, as her spirit prepares for its final resting place.
Arnold has been housed in the Fulton County Jail without bond.
