Murder suspect arrested after officer sees him run red light
Atlanta Police say a traffic stop of a driver seen running a red light led to the arrest of a man wanted for murder. Police have since released the body cam video of the entire thing.
ATLANTA - Law enforcement officers tell rookies on the force there is no such thing as a routine traffic stop.
That common saying among police officers came true again during a recent overnight shift for one Buckhead patrolman.
That officer spotted a driver "roll through" a red light on Piedmont Road.
He flashed his blue lights and the driver pulled over. A customary check was performed on the driver's identification. The crime database showed an outstanding warrant.
Keiontay Davis
On a bodycam sequence, the motorist -- Keiontay Davis -- was informed of the warrant. He can be heard saying he had no idea it existed.
Turns out Davis is suspected of taking part in a violent incident going back to last September in Downtown Atlanta. An argument turned into guns drawn and gunfire, according to police. One man died.
The motorist with the red-light violation was placed in the back of a patrol car and taken to the Fulton County Jail. He has more serious charges to worry about: aggravated assault and murder.
