One of Atlanta's Most Wanted Fugitives Captured in Jacksonville Three Years After Murder

Atlanta police said investigators used technology and a multi-agency manhunt to arrest Jonathan Soto, wanted in the 2023 killing of club co-owner Michael Gidewon.

  • On Wednesday, Jonathan David Soto was arrested at a Jacksonville, Florida, apartment complex for the February 2023 killing of Atlanta club owner Michael Gidewon.
  • The arrest stems from a deadly February 4, 2023, shooting outside Republic Lounge at 990 Brady Avenue in Atlanta, where Gidewon, the club's co-owner, was fatally shot.
  • Jacksonville Sheriff's Office SWAT members and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force tracked Soto to the apartment, using 'an energetic door breach' after he initially refused to surrender.
  • Soto remains in custody at the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, though authorities have not yet confirmed when he will be extradited to Fulton County to face charges.
  • Atlanta Police Department Fugitive Unit investigators used tracking technology to locate Soto, but officials have not released details regarding the specific investigative methods employed.
