A man has been cuffed in the deadly November shootout at a DeKalb County gas station that left one dead and two others injured, authorities stated Wednesday. According to Fox5 Atlanta, the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office's Fugitive Unit, with backing from the Georgia State Patrol's SWAT unit, nabbed 26-year-old Demarco Boyer at an Atlanta apartment complex.
Having previously detained Omni Ali Woodward in connection with the fatal shooting—whose identity remains undisclosed—the arrest last night marks a step forward in the chilling case that shocked the community. Killed in the shooting was 41-year-old Antione Lewis, who found his life snuffed out at the Texaco/Circle K located near Candler and Kelly Lake roads on Nov. 26. Details provided by Atlanta News First state that the second person was arrested after they were originally taken to the hospital.
Boyer, currently detained at DeKalb County Jail, faces a litany of charges including murder, aggravated assault, and possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. His capture was not without the inevitable drama that accompanies such significant arrests, wherein multidisciplinary tactical teams are deployed to ensnare those fleeing justice—yet, such details rarely make it past the vaults of law enforcement narratives.
