A suspect was arrested Monday, less than two hours after he allegedly shot a man to death at a Chamblee gas station, authorities said.
The victim, identified as Anderson Adonay-Perdomo, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in critical condition after being struck in the torso around 12:35 p.m. at a QuikTrip on Chamblee Tucker Road, according to Chamblee police. He died from his injuries less than three hours later, city spokeswoman Shannon Wiggins said Tuesday morning.
“Witnesses say the victim was asking different people for money at the pumps when he walked up to the suspect’s vehicle (and) was shot,” police said.
After the shooting, officers tracked the vehicle to East Point, where it was found about an hour and a half later. The suspect, Quinterius Sutton, 26, was then taken into custody.
