MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Authorities in Mobile County have arrested a man suspected of killing another man on a highway.

Al.com (https://bit.ly/2g9kc2Q ) reports that officials arrested Joseph Ryan Carter on Sunday in Escambia County on a murder charge.

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office says Carter fatally shot Joe Nathan Thomas in the back of the head Thursday morning on Interstate 65.



A witness told officials that she had been in a vehicle with Thomas and Carter earlier that night. She says that when the two men stepped out of the car, she heard a shot and saw Thomas fall to the ground.

Carter has been transferred to Mobile County Metro Jail. It’s unclear if he has an attorney.
