A man was arrested Monday in connection with a fatal shooting in southeast Atlanta nearly three weeks ago, authorities said.
Atlanta police were notified around 12:30 a.m. April 13 about gunfire in the area of Woodland Avenue, not far from Moreland Avenue. When they arrived, they found a man dead from a gunshot wound in the driveway of a home.
He was identified as 19-year-old Calvin McDowell by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office. At least five dozen evidence markers were placed at the scene of the shooting, including some scattered in the middle of the street.
During the course of the investigation, 28-year-old Demetrius McDowell was identified as a suspect. Police said they were half-brothers.
On Monday, several law enforcement agencies, including Atlanta police, the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force and the Georgia State Patrol SWAT team, took him into custody without incident.
