Charmon Sinkfield, 30, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals on Wednesday night, Atlanta police spokesman Officer Eric Schwartz said. He is the third man to be charged in connection with Forrest’s slaying.
An arrest warrant had previously been issued after tips from witnesses and video surveillance led police to Sinkfield. Marshals staked out a home in southwest Atlanta, and they followed a black sedan from Nathan Street to I-20 around 9 p.m., according to Marshal James Ergas.
Twelve unmarked cars trailed the sedan for about 10 minutes Wednesday evening before forcing the vehicle to stop.
Sinkfield, who was in the backseat, was one of three people in the sedan. At one point, he attempted to disguise himself with a wig, Ergas said.
Sinkfield was taken into custody on I-20 near Hamilton E. Holmes Drive. The driver of the sedan was taken into custody for an unrelated incident.
Sinkfield is the final of three suspects whom investigators were seeking in the shooting of the Atlanta boxer. Previously, police arrested two suspects in connection with the fatal shooting Forrest.
Jquante Crews, 25, and Damario Ware, 20, face murder, weapons, assault and robbery charges. Authorities said neither suspect shot Forrest, who was killed outside a southwest Atlanta convenience store July 26.
Sinkfield faces murder, assault and firearms charges.
