DeKalb County police are searching for a man suspected of shooting two people Monday at a gas station, leaving one of them critically injured.
The shooting took place after the man was dropped off at a Shell station at 4605 Glenwood Road, DeKalb police said. Police on Thursday released photos of the suspect, who is wanted on assault charges, but said the driver of the SUV that dropped him off is only wanted for questioning.
Officers were called to the Shell station Monday just after 5:30 p.m. At the scene, police found a man in his 30s suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and a second man in his 50s with a single gunshot wound. They were taken to the hospital in critical and serious condition, respectively, according to police.
The gunman was seen getting out of a tan or copper Infiniti QX30 SUV with a Georgia license plate CNV1786, police said in a lookout. Investigators believe he was involved in a dispute with one of the victims before opening fire.
After the shooting, police said the man left the scene on foot and traveled south on Glenfair Road. He is shown in surveillance photos wearing a white T-shirt and jeans and carrying a light blue backpack.
No further details about the incident have been released, including the identities of the victims or the nature of the dispute.
