Atlanta police have arrested a man they say killed another man inside a motel room near Atlantic Station earlier this year.

Richard Williams, 26, was arrested on Tuesday for the Jan. 31 killing of Corey Robinson, 22, spokesman Greg Lyons announced Wednesday. Robinson’s body was discovered inside a room at the In-Town Suites at 1375 Northside Drive, just off of 17th Street and just under a mile from Atlantic station.

There were no obvious signs of foul play when Robinson’s body was first discovered, according to Lyons. It took police another day to determine that he had been strangled to death.

Williams has been charged with murder and is being held at the Fulton County jail, Lyons said.
