Jacksonville police have made an arrest in a cold case from over 40 years ago.

Johnie Lewis Miller is now in custody for the May 1974 murder of Freddie Farah.

Bobby Farah - Freddie's son - and other family members were alongside Sheriff Mike Williams.

"We're relieved," Bobby Farah added. "I mean, some of us never thought we'd see this day."

Police say Farah was shot and killed during the robbery of his Kings Road convenience store.

Miller was found in New Orleans working as a street performer.
