ATLANTA – After months of searching, the FBI has captured one of Atlanta's top 10 fugitives on the run, officials confirm.

The FBI says it arrested 31-year-old Tavoris Ferrell on Nov. 28 near the Clearwater, Florida area.

Ferrell had been wanted in connection to a July shooting rampage that spanned multiple scenes in which he allegedly shot his girlfriend at close range during an argument. He then allegedly proceeded to shoot an Uber driver at a nearby intersection, firing several other bullets at random. Both victims survived.

Authorities say Ferrell had been out on bond, with his trial set to start soon, when the incident happened. Investigators released photos of Ferrell shortly after the shooting, hoping people would recognize him.

Investigators were able to track him down to the Tampa, Florida area and arrest him. He is being held at the Pinellas County Detention Facility, where he is awaiting extradition back to Atlanta.
