NYPD tip prompts arrest in Gwinnett stabbing case

A suspect has been arrested in connection with a 2022 stabbing death in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The arrest follows an investigation by the New York City police, who provided helpful information. Gwinnett police received a tip from New York regarding the killing of 44-year-old Matthew Jones on September 6, 2022. This information pointed to a suspect who had shared details about the case that were not public. The suspect was identified as 20-year-old Delano Hill. Hill was arrested at his home in Gwinnett on Friday. He is accused of stabbing Jones in the front yard of a house near Suwanee. Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the attack. The investigation had stalled after police sought public help in identifying the suspect from security footage weeks after the killing. However, the case gained new momentum when the New York tip emerged in late December. Hill is now facing several serious charges, including felony murder and aggravated assault. Authorities thanked the New York Police Department for their crucial assistance in solving this case.
