DeKalb County Sheriff’s deputies said they arrested a fourth suspect Tuesday in the shooting death of a Decatur man during an armed robbery.
Craig Tellis, wanted in the Sept. 2 slaying of Antorey Harris, was found hiding in the back room of a home in the 1400 block of Everhart Street in Atlanta, according to DeKalb Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Adrion Bell.
The 22-year-old Tellis and three accomplices used an AK-47 to kill Harris during a robbery for drugs at the victim’s home in the 2800 block of Shell Bark Road, Decatur, authorities said. The incident was captured on a video recording.
The early morning of Sept. 5, a report that Tellis was hiding out in the attic of a home on Hollow Tree Drive, Decatur, prompted an evacuation of the neighborhood and a response by DeKalb Sheriff’s fugitive investigators and SWAT team, but a search did not produce the suspect, Bell said.
Of Tellis’ alleged accomplices, Chenjavious McCollum, 21, was arrested Sept. 7, and Christopher Fennell, 20, and Iman George, 19, turned themselves in Sept. 11, Bell said. Harris’ age was not immediately available.
All four suspects were charged with felony murder and are being held without bond in the DeKalb County jail. Additional charges are possible after the investigation is completed, Bell said.
