COBB COUNTY, GA — Cobb County police have announced a third arrest in connection with the fatal shooting of a man at the Norfolk Southern rail yard in Austell last month.

Ty Anthony Thompson was arrested Thursday morning by deputies with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office in Florida in connection with the murder of Curdravious Clark.

Clark was found with a gunshot wound at the Norfolk Southern rail yard on Sept. 14. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

Ten days after the shooting, Cobb County police arrested two other suspects, Keondre Johnson and Michael Riles, in connection with Clark’s death.

Thompson, Johnson and Riles are all facing multiple charges, including malice murder, felony murder and aggravated assault.

Thompson remains in custody in Escambia County, Florida, while awaiting extradition to Cobb County.
