A fourth suspect in the murder of A.J. Parr has been arrested in Georgia. Jerry Wheeler, 34, was taken into custody in Brookhaven on Wednesday. Authorities described the killing as a carefully planned murder-for-hire scheme.
The case began on January 13, when Parr was killed in Murietta, California. Two other suspects, Ignacia Perkins and James Petri, were arrested on January 29. Kenneth Maxwell was detained on March 18.
