FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitive Antwan Tamon Mims of Michigan was arrested Tuesday in  suburban Atlanta, the FBI announced Wednesday.

Mims was nabbed without a struggle shortly after 4 p.m. at a residence in College Park, Ga., by FBI agents and the FBI Atlanta Metro Major Offenders Task Force.

Mims was wanted for the March 25, 2018 murders of Cortez Lamont Miller and Michael Canthrell Johnson while they were attending a house party on Lavette Street in Benton Harbor, Mich.

"When a wanted felon like Mims is placed on the FBI Ten Most Wanted List, his world becomes smaller as that bright spotlight is shined upon him. Couple that with determined federal, state, and local investigators, his life on the run ends with him in handcuffs," said FBI Detroit Special Agent in Charge Timothy R. Slater in a statement. "We can only hope this arrest brings some level of closure to Cortez and Michael's families."

Mims was the 519th person to be placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list since it was established in 1950. He was the 486th person captured, and the ninth Ten Most Wanted Fugitive arrested in the state of Georgia, the FBI said.
