ATLANTA — Police have made another arrest in connection to a deadly shooting at an apartment complex in Atlanta in January of 2023.

On Thursday, 21-year-old Kentae Compton was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force in Albany, Georgia. He was charged with Murder and Aggravated Assault.

On Jan. 14, 2023, officers responded to a report of a shooting at 8213 Brookwood Valley Cir. NE around 11:32 p.m.

Upon arrival, officers found a shooting victim. Investigators say the victim was involved in an “ongoing altercation with a known suspect, leading to the victim being shot.”
