DeKalb County police have made an arrest in the mid-May shooting deaths of two women at an apartment complex near I-20.

Demetre Mason, 20, was arrested Friday and charged with two counts of murder, according to DeKalb police spokeswoman Mekka Parish.

Shaniqua Camacho, 20, and Sonia Williams, 21, were found shot to death about 6 a.m. May 19 outside the Walden Pond apartments on Shellbark Road off Snapfinger Woods Drive.

“The motive is believed to be an ongoing dispute with the suspect and one of the victims,” Parish told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
