The suspect in question reportedly helped hide Jordan Jackson, who was accused of killing Officer Desai back on Nov. 4.

ATLANTA — Henry County Police said they have arrested a third person in connection to the death of Officer Parmhans Desai.

Desai, 38,  was shot and later died after responding to a domestic dispute at a home in McDonough on Nov. 4.

Authorities spent days searching for Jordan Jackson, the man accused of shooting and killing Desai. 

A week after the shooting, Jackson killed himself during a standoff with officers.
