A suspect in a fatal shooting last month at a gas station in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood was arrested Wednesday, officials said.
Anthony Harrison, 39, was charged with murder and two counts of aggravated assault in the death of a 24-year-old man, Ricardo Fontaine, on March 15.
Atlanta police said Fontaine was shot multiple times that night at an Exxon station at 400 Edgewood Avenue, which is near the iconic Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change. He died at Grady Memorial Hospital as a result of his injuries.
The next day, homicide detectives determined that Harrison was a suspect in the shooting and the APD’s fugitive unit began their search for him, according to a news release. He was located in east Atlanta on Wednesday and taken into custody without incident, police said.
Harrison is being held at the Fulton County Jail.
