Cox was arrested in the 1700 block of South Breiel Boulevard through a “joint investigative effort,” according to the release.
Marshals did not state specifically which murder Cox was wanted for, but according to court records, Cox was charged with aggravated robbery related to an incident on Nov. 20, 2016.
On that date, 23-year-old Jarrel Plummer was shot in an apartment in the 100 block of West Dayton Yellow Springs Road in Fairborn. Plummer had been shot in the head and the chest following a robbery, according to law enforcement.
Plummer was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Fairborn police in 2016 identified Cox and Rashawn Cochran as persons of interest connected to the homicide, saying both had been charged with aggravated robbery.
Cochran was arrested in August 2019 after being on the run for two years, and after pleading guilty in 2021 was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
