A man was arrested in connection with a southwest Atlanta club shooting that left one man dead and another injured in early November, police said.
Charles Edward Carlisle, 28, was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service in Clayton County and charged with murder, according to online records. In July 2024, Carlisle took a plead guilty to a reduced charge of involuntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He was sentenced to 10 years to serve three years, with the remaining balance on probation.
After being arrested, he spent more than three years in custody so he was released shortly after taking a plea deal.
On Nov. 9, police responded to the 2900 block of Campbellton Road about 6:20 a.m. and found two men with gunshot wounds in the parking lot of the now-former club The Voo. Richard Giles, 27, of College Park, died at the scene.

The 28-year-old surviving victim was “caught up in the crossfire when he was injured,” Atlanta police Lt. Pete Malecki told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution from the scene the day of the shooting. A handgun and 15 spent shell casings were recovered, he said.
While authorities believed the club was open at the time of the shooting, Malecki said none of the employees or management remained on scene to speak with investigators.
Police have not released any information about how Carlisle might be connected to the shooting or the victim. He is being held at the Fulton County Jail without bond, online records show.
