Atlanta Jury Convicts Two Men in Shocking Beltline Murder of Community Member Thomas Arnold
On Wednesday night, Brandon Williams and Demetrice Ross were convicted by a Fulton County jury for the murder of 60-year-old Thomas Arnold.
The shocking incident occurred on February 25, 2022, near the Atlanta Beltline in Inman Park. Prosecutors argued that Williams and Ross attempted to rob Arnold as he walked home after dinner.
