MCDONOUGH, Georgia — A Milwaukee homicide suspect was arrested in Georgia after a high-speed chase, according to the Henry County Sheriff's Office in McDonough.

The 36-year-old suspect allegedly shot and killed a security guard near 6th and Vine in Milwaukee on Monday.

Wisconsin authorities contact the Henry County Sheriff's Office after tracking the suspect's girlfriend's cellphone. The location reported was a residence in the Georgia county.

He is now facing additional charges in Henry County for fleeing with the attempt to elude, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon and multiple traffic infractions.
