Johnathan Allan Wheeler has been charged with murder for the Jan. 27 killing of East Cobb resident Jerry Moore.

Cobb County police believe they have enough evidence to link a Stockbridge man to a murder which occurred in East Cobb earlier this year, reports The Marietta Daily Journal.

Police have linked Johnathan Allan Wheeler, 31, of Stockbridge to the Jan. 27 murder of Jerry Moore, 46. Moore was found stabbed to death inside his home on Gracewood Drive, which is across from the Emerson Unitarian Universalist Congregation.

Wheeler is currently incarcerated in Macedonia, Ohio on unrelated charges, reports the MDJ. He is now facing charges of aggravated assault and murder in the Marietta killing.
