Police in Decatur, Alabama say a 53 year old man called them this week to confess to a killing from 1995.
According to police, Johnny called the Decatur Police Department on Wednesday and told a detective that he shot Christopher in 1995 and that it was time to come clean. Police say he gave the detective specific details about the shooting that only the killer would have known, and that his account matches evidence collected at the scene, as reported by People.
Police confirmed that Christopher was shot and that his death was ruled a homicide. Investigators had never identified a suspect.
Johnny has been charged with one count of murder and is being held on a $15,000 bond. Detective Sean Mukaddam said he was remorseful and wanted to get it off his chest, according to The New York Times.
The Fairfield Citizen reported that Johnny was already due in court in May on a methamphetamine charge. A charge is an allegation, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
