Parrish was last seen on Mill Street on Jan. 8, and was active on social media the following day.
Since his disappearance, the father, brother, friend and well-known hairstylist in the CSRA has weighed heavily on the hearts and minds of those who knew him.
Parrish recently won male hairstylist of the year but he wasn’t there to accept the honor. His mother accepted it on his behalf.
Last month, more than 50 people came together in faith, praying for the safe return of Parrish, lighting candles to the man they say always had their back.
Although authorities have not confirmed what murder this arrest is connected to, the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office previously announced that they were looking for a Caleb White who was wanted for questioning in the investigation.
The Aiken County Coroner’s Office, Aiken County Sheriff’s Office and Richmond County Sheriff’s Office are continuing with the investigation.
