Collins and 20-year-old David Booker have been arrested and have a history of car thefts in multiple counties according to police.
In July, police said Coleman fought back while they tried to steal his car and one of the three suspects allegedly shot him.
A detective testified that cameras helped get tags from the suspect car which led them to a man who rented the car to Collins.
“He confirmed that Miles Collins and David Booker, based on their driver’s license photos they provided, were the same two individuals that returned that vehicle approximately an hour and a half after the homicide,” according to an investigator with Gwinnett County.
Police then used cell phone information to place Collins at the scene.
“Mr. Collins’ phone was in Peachtree Corners in close proximity to the homicide when it occurred,” the investigator testified.
Even though a third suspect is still on the loose, Coleman’s family is hopeful it won’t be for much longer before he too is in custody.
Collins will remain in jail after Wednesday’s court appearance with no bond.
