By
ATLANTA - Police have arrested a man suspected in the fatal stabbing of a 12-year-old boy and an 83-year-old man. <br> <br> De&#39;Kelvin Martin did not resist when police closed in on him in some woods in southwest Atlanta. He&#39;s been taken in for questioning. <br> <br> Atlanta police spokesman John Quigley says a motorist recognized the 30-year-old suspect around 1 p.m. Tuesday less than a mile from the house where police found four people stabbed, two fatally. <br> <br> Police say the boy, Savion Wright, was dead by the time officers arrived. His great-grandfather, Travis Ivery, was pronounced dead at a hospital. <br> <br> Martin&#39;s girlfriend, 33-year-old Tymeka Wright, was in stable condition at a hospital. Her grandmother, 77-year-old Ila Ivery, was in critical condition. <br> <br> Atlanta police Sergeant Bob Creasy says there were obvious signs of struggle throughout the house. He says a butcher knife from the family&#39;s kitchen may have been used in the stabbings. <br> <br> No word yet on whether Martin has been charged with any crime. <br> <br> Martin -- who goes by the nickname ``Kebo&#39;&#39; -- served four years for a 1991 conviction for aggravated assault and robbery, according Department of Corrections spokeswoman Peggy Chapman. He was released from probation in November 1999.
