The suspect wanted for fatally shooting a North Augusta woman was captured Tuesday afternoon after a wild chase in Houston, Texas.
Jeremy Glenn Nobles, 26, of Warrenville, was reportedly a passenger in a blue Kia being chased by deputies on a Harris County highway. The driver had slammed into other vehicles and tried to squeeze the Kia between two other cars before hitting both of them. It was all captured on video from a TV station’s helicopter.
According to media reports, the driver and a passenger both took off on foot, but they were quickly taken into custody.
The name of the driver has not been released, but he is believed to be a repeat offender from the Augusta area who recently posted a Facebook video showing off his new blue Kia.
Nobles, 26, of Warrenville, was being hunted in the July 15 shooting death of 28-year-old Rebekah Clark in North Augusta.
Acting on a tip Tuesday, Harris County Sheriff’s Office (VCAT Team) located a vehicle that Nobles was traveling in with another male.
“After a vehicle pursuit, Nobles was taken into custody without incident,” Aiken County Sheriff’s Capt. Eric Abdullah said in a press release. “He was taken to the Harris County Jail where he will be held pending an extradition hearing.”
Aiken County Sheriff’s Office investigators obtain arrested warrants for Nobles, charging him with murder and weapon possession.
The North Augusta murder investigation began on July 15 when deputies responded to shots fired at 426 Audubon Circle. Deputies found Clark with an apparent gunshot wound after a drive-by shooting. A witness said the driver was in a white SUV and “shot up” the home with about 20 rounds.
Clark was found on the floor in a bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head, a report says. She was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
