On Saturday evening, 70-year-old David Tuttle was shot and killed outside a liquor store on Metropolitan Parkway in southwest Atlanta.
Shortly after the shooting, Jarvis Mosley arrived at the store with his son and Atlanta homicide detectives made the arrest.
Jaylen Mosley was charged with murder, armed robbery, hijacking a vehicle, possession of a firearm and fleeing Harris County, Texas.
Channel 2 received documents from Texas on Monday showing the fugitive charge against Mosley was a misdemeanor charge of property damage.
That charge was dropped on Monday and Texas waived extradition.
Mosley waived his initial appearance Monday and remains in the Fulton County Jail.
His court hearing is in two weeks.
