DeKalb County police are investigating after a teenager was shot to death late Saturday night at a Chevron gas station in Tucker.
The fatal shooting happened shortly after 10:40 p.m., according to a police statement. Officers called to the scene at 1531 Cooledge Road found the victim lying in a grassy area between the road and the gas station.
He was identified by authorities as 18-year-old Moriano Moment.
Witnesses told investigators that two men pulled up to the station in a black BMW with red temporary tags and chased Moment down, then shot him in the grassy area, a DeKalb police report said. The witnesses said the suspects sped away heading south toward Brockett Road.
On Tuesday, investigators obtained an arrest warrant for a suspect on a charge of murder. Police are not releasing the suspect’s name, citing the ongoing investigation, according to spokesperson Officer Elise Wells.
