26-Year-Old Man Charged With Murder For Shooting Man Asking For Money At A Georgia Gas Station

A 23-year-old Georgia man was fatally shot after he asked people for money at a gas station.

Authorities have charged Quinterius Sutton, 26, with murder in the death of 23-year-old Anderson Adonay-Perdomo. He has also been charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and misdemeanor driving without a valid license, PEOPLE reported.

Witnesses say the victim was asking people for money at a gas station in Chamblee on March 18 around 12:35 p.m. when he approached the suspect’s vehicle.

“He was shot once in the torso, then Sutton fled the scene from there,” Lt. Mike Winfield of the Chamblee Police Department tells PEOPLE.

Sutton was quickly taken into custody thanks to automated license plate readers that captured his license plate number, according to Winfield. 

Adonay-Perdomo was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Sutton was already wanted in connection with the shooting death of Trevor Stephenson, 21, outside a bar in Aug. 2023. 

He is being held in DeKalb County Jail.
