Gwinnett County police have arrested a second suspect in a February shooting that left a 21-year-old dead, officials announced Monday.
Police were called to the intersection of Macland Drive and McCart Road around 3 p.m. Feb. 27 and found Dakota Mcgee with a gunshot wound, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported previously. He died at a hospital a short time later.
Brendyn Walker, 24, who also was injured in the shooting, was charged three days later with felony murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Now, 21-year-old Brendon Woods faces the same charges after being arrested in Gastonia, North Carolina, where he is awaiting extradition to Gwinnett County, a news release states.
Mcgee and Walker were both shot after meeting outside the Allen’s Landing subdivision in Lawrenceville, authorities said at the time. Investigators have said they believe the shooting was drug-related.
Police are also asking anyone with information about a red or burgundy Ford Taurus with Georgia license plate number RYK0183 to contact detectives. The vehicle was seen driving toward Brooke Manor Court in Lawrenceville shortly after the incident, officials said. Police did not specify its relevance to the case.
