The investigation continues into a double shooting that left one man dead outside a DeKalb County convenience store, according to police.

Officers were sent to the Food Mart on Flat Shoals Parkway around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, police said. Investigators believe there was a fight outside and shots were fired at two people, killing 46-year-old Byron Elliard.

A second person, who was taken to a hospital in critical condition, survived and is recovering, according to DeKalb police spokeswoman Michaela Vincent.

One person was taken into custody and remains a suspect in the case, but has not been arrested, Vincent said.
