Arizona police have arrested a homicide suspect they believe is connected to a decades-old cold case from 1996.

Whiteriver resident Romeo Massey Jr., 45, was arrested by Pinetop-Lakeside Police Department officials on Wednesday.

Police believe Massey is connected to the murder of Jody Hemphill, a man who was found stabbed to death inside the Mountain Edge Tapes & CD store on November 6, 1996. 

Hemphill had been an employee of the music shop. Massey was around 18 years old at the time of the murder.
