DeKalb County deputies and SWAT members have arrested a teenager Thursday who is wanted in Tennessee on murder charges.

Officials tell FOX 5 the DeKalb County Fugitive Unit arrested the 16-year-old suspect at a home in Decatur.

According to investigators, the teen was wanted on a warrant out of Clarksville, Tennessee charging them with first-degree murder. 

The charges stem from a drive-by shooting that killed Emmanuel Tyson on Aug. 20, 2021. 

The teen, whose name has not been release, was taken to the DeKalb Regional Youth Detention Center and is awaiting extradition.
