BIRMINGHAM — Police have made an arrest in a 1987 beating death of a 78-year-old Birmingham man.
Police Chief A.C. Roper said a 37-year-old Birmingham man has been charged with capital murder in the slaying of Emmett Ray Owens. A witness was located by cold-case detective Jody Jacobs.
Police won't release the suspect's name because he was 16 when the crime happened and has been charged as a juvenile.
Martha Smith says she had given up hope that anyone would be arrested for her father's murder. She says it's painful to think about it.
Owens was found in a ditch in Bessemer on July 20, 1987.
