Police are investigating a shooting that left one man dead Friday evening at a Henry County QuikTrip.

A 21-year-old man was arrested Saturday following a shooting at a Henry County gas station that left another man dead.

Quintarus James Jackson was initially a person of interest in Friday’s deadly incident at a QuikTrip on Jonesboro Road. Michael Jamal Colquitt, 31, was discovered fatally injured when officers responded to the convenience store about 11:15 p.m., according to a Henry County police spokesman.

Jackson was located about two hours after investigators asked for the public’s help to find him. He is facing charges of murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and other traffic offenses, Capt. Randy Lee confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

He is being held in the Henry County Jail without bond.

Investigators are still working to determine what prompted the deadly shooting, Lee said.
