Arrest made in gas station shooting that left 2 injured
On June 2, during a follow-up, one of the victims told investigators that the other victim had picked him up, and they were at the Circle K gas station when an unknown man approached them.
The unknown man is accused of talking to the victims and getting into the backseat of their car. That is when he allegedly showed the victims a black gun, demanding items from a blue duffle bag inside the vehicle.
All three began fighting over the bag and the suspect's gun, as one of the victims drove out of the parking lot.
At that time, the suspect shot at both victims multiple times before taking off on foot.
The suspect, identified as Kevon Chapman, was positively identified in a six-person photographic display and taken into custody on June 11.
Another suspect involved in this case, 21-year-old Tariq Robinson, was arrested on June 3.
Kevon Chapman is due in court on Friday morning. His bond has yet to be set.
