Law enforcement authorities raided a northeast Atlanta apartment Wednesday and arrested the third and final suspect in the slaying of DeKalb County restaurant owner Guy Luck.



Rejon Taylor, 19, was seized about 1:30 a.m. in the apartment on Lenox Park Boulevard, said a statement from the U.S. Marshals Service.



"Taylor was found hiding in the refrigerator with a large kitchen knife," the statement said.



Taylor and two other men are accused of commandeering Luck?s van in Buckhead to rob him. He was driven to Collegedale, Tenn., just over the state line, and shot to death Aug. 6, police say.



Luck owned Violette, a French restaurant on Clairmont Road.



In September, Hamilton County, Tenn., Sheriff John Cupp said murder and robbery warrants had been issued for Taylor; 20-year-old Sir Jack Matthews and 18-year-old Joey Marshall.



Matthews has been in the DeKalb jail since Aug. 28 on unrelated charges of statutory rape and child molestation. Marshall was jailed in Fulton County on burglary and theft charges Sept. 24, according to booking records.



Matthews listed an address near Clarkston. Marshall and Taylor listed addresses in southwest DeKalb.



Taylor was apprehended by about five sheriff?s officers and five federal marshals who forced their way into the Atlanta apartment Wednesday, said Mikki Jones, a spokeswoman for the DeKalb sheriff?s office.



Another person in the apartment, 20-year-old Summer Jeter, was arrested for making false statements to police.
