One person has been arrested just a day after a man was fatally shot at a DeKalb County apartment complex, police said.

Officers were called at around 5:25 p.m. Wednesday to the Glen Hollow complex in the 100 block of Glen Hollow Circle, which is right outside I-285 and off Flat Shoals Parkway.

There, they found the gunshot victim, later identified as Diamon Clay, 39.

Less than 24 hours later, “detectives identified the vehicle believed to have been used by the suspect,” said DeKalb police spokesperson Blaine Clark.

Investigators tracked the vehicle to a home in Morrow, where they executed a search warrant and found “firearms, narcotics, and a substantial amount of cash,” police said. One of the people at the house, whose name has not been released, was taken into custody on a charge of malice murder.

No other details have been released, including information on what led to the shooting.
