COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) — There has been a major development in a murder investigation involving father and son.

The Columbus Police Department confirmed to WRBL on Wednesday Samuel Haynes was arrested in Chicago in connection to his father, Billy Haynes, death in 2023.

The investigation stems back to Nov. 19 when Billy Haynes was found dead in a bedroom on Lawyers Lane. His case was classified as a homicide after an autopsy revealed he died from stab/puncture wounds.

Samuel Haynes was developed as a suspect and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He is currently waiting extradition from Chicago back to Columbus.
