Atlanta Police arrested a man in connection to a deadly shooting that happened last November in Ashview Heights.

Luther Parks, 52, was charged with the felony murder of a 46-year-old man that took place on Nov. 13. Officers were told about the shooting during a traffic stop off Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard. 

Police were approached by several people who said a man was shot inside a vehicle. Officers found the man, who was then rushed to a nearby hospital. He later died from his injuries, police said.
