COLUMBUS, Ohio — U.S. Marshals arrested a man on Tuesday suspected of murdering a woman whose body was found on a Blendon Township road last month.
Officials arrested 32-year-old Antoine Phillips in southeast Columbus in connection to the murder of 35-year-old Jamie Nicole Fulton.
Blendon Township police and Franklin County deputies found Fulton on Westerville Road on May 18 while responding to a call about a man chasing a woman. She was pronounced dead shortly after 12 a.m. on May 19.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation Mobile Crime Scene Unit assisted with the investigation, which led authorities to a residence not far from where Fulton’s body was found.
Following an initial investigation, police issued a warrant to arrest Phillips on murder and kidnapping charges on May 19.
He was arrested without incident on Tuesday, according to a release from Blendon Township PD.
