Jonathan Ellison and James OglesbeeAfter leading police on an all-night manhunt, two men were arrested Thursday in Whitfield County, Ga., in connection with the death of a Chattanooga man who was shot and stabbed late Wednesday.
Local and state police caught Jonathan Ellison and James Oglesbee hiding at a home early Thursday morning and charged each of them with murder and aggravated assault, authorities said.
Coroner Johnny Gray said the death is the first homicide in Dade County in at least five years.
Police began the search after Antwane Hyatte was found stabbed and shot to death at the door of Ellison’s home on Sand Mountain in Dade County, Gray said.
The preliminary autopsy report on Hyatte shows he was shot once and stabbed multiple times, he said.
