A Fairburn man was arrested Monday after months on the run following a deadly shooting in South Fulton, police said.
Christopher Render, 38, was taken into custody without incident with the help of a U.S. Marshals Service task force in connection with the shooting Oct. 8 that killed 43-year-old Timothy Stinson.
Stinson was found injured when officers responded to a report of a person shot at the Sandtown Vista Apartments on Sand Bay Drive, according to South Fulton police. He later died from his injuries.
Render was identified as a suspect after an investigation, police spokesman Sgt. Jubal Rogers said. No other details about that investigation, including a possible motive, were released.
Render faces charges of murder, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime. He is being held in the Fulton County Jail without bond.
