LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- Police shot and killed a suspected kidnapper during a ransom pickup Monday morning in Gwinnett County, but in a bizarre twist, several hours later they were questioning the kidnapping victim.

The incident began when Juan David Arce-Flores, 34, was abducted July 1 from his cousin's apartment at the Magnolia Apartments in the 7100 block of Roswell Road in Sandy Springs, according to a news release from the Gwinnett County Police Department.

"According to the witness, six men dressed in all black that had 'police' written on their shirts came into his apartment around 2 in the morning, bound and gagged him and took him out of the apartment," said Lt. Steve Rose of the Sandy Springs Police Department.

The kidnappers contacted Arce-Flores' family and demanded a $2 million ransom for his safe release, according to Rose.

The ransom demand included instructions to leave the money at a Waffle House on Pleasant Hill Road in Gwinnett County. The victim's ex-girlfriend contacted authorities July 3.

When the suspects showed up at the Waffle House early Monday morning, undercover members of the Gwinnett County SWAT team were hidden at the scene.

"When the suspects were confronted by police, one of the suspects made aggressive movements towards his weapon. The SWAT officers opened fire, striking the suspect," said Cpl. Illana Spellman in a news release.

The suspect was killed and later identified as 23-year-old Richard Garcia of Doraville.

A second man, Jose Ramirez-Perez, 24, was arrested after the shooting and charged with false imprisonment, authorities said.

At 9 a.m., Sandy Springs police were notified by Gwinnett County police that a man matching the description of Arce-Flores was spotted walking along Highway 29 in Gwinnett County. The man gave officers a false name and birthdate, but by 9:35 a.m. officers confirmed that the man was Arce-Flores.

"It's kind of bizarre, especially when you recover the victim, and your victim is giving false information," said Rose.

While police were questioning Arce-Flores, they discovered outstanding warrants for him for failure to appear on drug charges in 2007. He was jailed on those warrants.

Police said they are still unsure why Arce-Flores lied about his identity.
