A man was arrested Monday in connection with a deadly shooting that stemmed from an argument over money and resulted in the death of a bystander in a DeKalb County parking lot, authorities said.
Kendrick Williams, 45, was taken into custody on charges related to the Saturday afternoon incident, DeKalb police said. He was booked into the DeKalb jail on counts of murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and second-degree criminal damage to property, jail records show.
Police were called around 2:25 p.m. Saturday to the 2100 block of Flat Shoals Road for a person shot, according to police spokesperson Officer Elise Wells. The area, home to a nightclub, barber shop and grocery store, is located a short distance from I-20.
When officers arrived, they found a man dead in the parking lot with a gunshot wound. His name was not released.
According to investigators, two people were arguing over money that afternoon when one of them started shooting at the other. Wells said it didn’t appear that the victim was involved in the dispute.
Police did not say if they expected to make additional arrests in the case.
