Atlanta police have issued warrants for a second suspect in the robbery and murder of an employee at the Barcelona Wine bar in late 2017. And that person is already in jail on unrelated charges.
According to Police Chief Erika Shields, homicide investigators were able to find probable cause to secure an arrest warrant for 20-year-old Carlous Bailey over his involvement in the incident that left Chelsea Beller dead on Nov. 19. It turns out, Bailey was already arrested in DeKalb County for another crime. Bailey now faces charges of murder and armed robbery.

"Our team of Homicide investigators have worked together to get us where we are today in announcing another arrest in the Barcelona Wine Bar case," Shields said in a statement. "We knew it was only a matter of time before our efforts paid dividends and another suspect was identified."
On Dec. 23, 2017, police arrested Samuel Ott after DNA evidence linked him to the crime. He was charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping and false imprisonment.
