Police have arrested the man suspected of shooting four people at the Masquerade on Sunday night.

Jonathan Bautista, 23, was picked up Wednesday in Social Circle, a city 45 miles east of Atlanta. He was charged with two counts of murder, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. No other details were immediately available about the arrest.

The manhunt bore fruit about two days after Atlanta police disseminated photos of two men believed to be connected to the shooting.
