"Our SWAT guys, along with the GBI and Moultrie Police Department were able to make the arrest in Coolidge. The Coolidge Police Department was there and the guy was taken into custody, without incident, and taken to the Colquitt County Jail," said Capt. Steve Jones with the Thomas County Sheriff's Office.

Moore is charged with murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Investigators with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation say Moore allegedly hijacked Trejo's car and robbed her at a convenience store before shooting her and dumping her body.

Those who knew Moore said they're shocked.

"When you look at him, he looks so sweet and nice. He had a good personality, but you just never know," said neighbor Terry Bryant.

Agent Steve Turner with the GBI said Trejo's car was later found abandoned at a location in Coolidge. He also said at this time they do not believe Moore knew Trejo.

Moore's girlfriend, Daniesha Bell, is also charged with providing false statements in the case.
