Man accused in recruiter slaying lived in Ohio

COLUMBUS (AP) — A man appearing in an Arkansas courtroom today on charges he killed an Army recruiter lived previously in Ohio.

Records also show that Abdulhakim Muhammad had renewed his Ohio driver’s license as recently as February.

Muhammad could be sentenced to death if convicted in the June 4 death of Pvt. William Andrew Long outside a military recruiting station in Little Rock, Ark.

Muhammad lived with a roommate in an apartment complex on the northeast side of Columbus sometime before 2007.

Property manager Inez Leyba says she confirmed information about Muhammad to the FBI last month.

The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles says Muhammad reinstated his Ohio driver’s license in February after paying off a ticket he received while in Tennessee.
