ATLANTA — Two weeks after a woman was shot and killed in an argument over a bowling ball, Atlanta Police said they have arrested the man who pulled the trigger.

On Thursday, detectives said they have taken a 25-year-old Joshua Fleetwood into custody in the death of LaKevia Jackson. The U.S. Marshals assisted with the arrest, according to the Atlanta Police Department.

Police said the man will face charges in connection with a March 17 shooting at Atlanta's Metro Fun Center in southwest Atlanta along Metropolitan Parkway. The argument spilled out of the building, escalating into gunfire that killed 31-year-old Jackson.

It has been reported that Jackson shared a child with Young Thug, and her social media accounts featured photos of her son and the rapper.

A representative for Young Thug previously said he would not be releasing a statement.

Fleetwood is being held in the Fulton County Jail. He was arrested on felony warrants of murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, police said. He waived his first court appearance regarding this case. 

Court records show he has been arrested more than a dozen times before this incident.
