The victim, later identified as JonDavid Russell Johnson, was shot at the intersection Ga. 92 and Wade Green Road, authorities said. Following the shooting, he returned to the gas station, where he had been playing video games. He was rushed to the hospital, but later died of his injuries.
Investigators believe the shooting was likely drug related because authorities discovered about 9 ounces of methamphetamine in Johnson’s hotel room, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Capt. Jay Baker said.
