ATLANTA - Federal agents Saturday arrested one of three fugitive suspects in the execution-style shooting of a construction worker earlier this month along Interstate 277 in Charlotte, N.C. <br>
<br>
Robert Moore, 25, was arrested without incident at 5:30 p.m. at a hotel across from the Fox Theater in downtown Atlanta, FBI Special Agent Theodore Jackson announced in a news release. <br>
<br>
Moore and two other suspects still at-large have murder warrants issued against them for the Jan. 10 shooting of Joel Solis Recio, 24, of Charlotte, authorities said. <br>
<br>
Agents believed the men had fled Charlotte and traveled to the Atlanta earlier this week. An investigative tip led officers to a hotel where the FBI said Moore checked in under an alias. <br>
<br>
An FBI SWAT team then entered Moore's room and found it empty. Agents believe the other two suspects, Rodney Dale Payne and Todd Gaston, fled the hotel in a taxi after Moore's arrest. The investigation was continuing late Saturday. <br>
<br>
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested a fourth suspect, Darrell Monroe Young, 27, the day after the shooting. The suspects are from Charlotte. <br>
<br>
Charlotte police said Recio was alive but gagged and bound when a bystander spotted him on an exit ramp of I-277. Someone carrying a shotgun and wearing a bandanna walked over to Recio and shot him several times, according to police. The shooter fled and the bystander wasn't injured. <br>
<br>
Police haven't publicly released a motive. <br>
<br>
Officers who searched Recio's home after the killing found marijuana, a scale, rolling papers and baggies, a search warrant said.
