Authorities are searching for a third suspect in connection with a fatal shooting at a Duluth-area gas station.
Gwinnett County police announced Thursday that 19-year-old Jaime Manuel Jimenez is wanted on charges of felony murder and aggravated assault in the Feb. 5 death of 20-year-old Jamun El Winslow.
The Lawrenceville man was found dead in a car near the Grande Club Apartments on Club Drive, not far from a Shell station on Pleasant Hill Road. Investigators believe he was shot at the gas station about 10 p.m., drove away and crashed, AJC.com previously reported.

In court on Friday, a Gwinnett detective testified that a witness was able to identify Najarro by the “Loyalty” tattoo she has on the side of her face, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Investigators also revealed that robbery was likely the motive in the fatal shooting.
“Ultimately, it appears as though it was possibly a robbery and that they were all involved with it,” Detective Doug Loomis said.
Police said Villafana-Diaz was in the car with Winslow when Jimenez walked up and shot him, Channel 2 reported. As Winslow tried to drive away, she allegedly jumped out of the moving car.
Investigators said in court they believe drugs were involved.
Anyone who knows Jimenez's whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Tipsters can remain anonymous, and be eligible for rewards of up to $2,000, by calling the tip line, texting information to 274637 or visiting the Crime Stoppers website.
