A gunman accused of fatally shooting a man outside a DeKalb County restaurant was arrested Thursday, police said.
Daniel Menisteab was taken into custody at a gas station along Memorial Drive after officers were able to block his vehicle, according to police. The 25-year-old is charged with murder in the Aug. 28 shooting at the Halal Pizza and Cafe on North Indian Creek Drive.
Authorities said Kamaal Mogardo had picked up food at the Clarkston-area restaurant and was getting into his car around 7:30 p.m. when he was approached by three people. In previously released surveillance footage, three people with guns can be seen exiting a red vehicle and running across the parking lot before returning to the car.
The three fired numerous shots at Mogardo, police said. He died at the scene.
The three then left the area in a red Lexus GS350.
No information was provided on the two others involved in the incident.
