Police have made an arrest in the case of a 41-year-old man found shot to death earlier this month in a wooded area near a northwest Atlanta strip club.
Clinton Robinson, 22, was arrested Tuesday and charged with the murder of Wallace Vaughn Jr., Atlanta police said.
Vaughn’s body was discovered behind a package store on Feb. 3 after officers responded to call about a person shot the 3000 block of Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, authorities said.

Vaughn’s body was located in a wooded area across the street from the Blue Flame Lounge, AJC.com previously reported. He had been shot once in the chest.
It’s unclear what prompted the fatal shooting, but investigators identified Robinson as the primary suspect and took out warrants for his arrest last week, Atlanta police spokeswoman Officer TaSheena Brown said. He was arrested Tuesday at a home on Hobson Street in southwest Atlanta and charged with one count of murder.
Robinson remains held at the Fulton County Jail without bond, online records show.
