Authorities outside Atlanta said Saturday that they had arrested one man and were looking for another in connection with the shooting death of a Gwinnett County police officer who was fired upon while responding to the scene of “a suspicious vehicle” hours earlier.
A suspect identified as Isaiah Pretlow, 19, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service and was charged with aggravated assault in the death of Officer Antwan Toney, 30, police said at a news conference.
Authorities said Pretlow was in the car when the shooting occurred, then sped away before the vehicle crashed. He fled on foot and pointed a gun at officers, who fired at him. No one was hit in the exchange, authorities said.
A manhunt was still underway for another suspect, identified as Tafahree Maynard.
Authorities said Maynard fled the scene of the shooting on foot.
No details were released on where Pretlow was arrested or how authorities found him.
Maynard is charged with aggravated assault and murder, authorities said in a news conference.
“He needs to turn himself in,” police said.
Toney, along with other officers, arrived near Shiloh Middle School in Snellville about 2:30 p.m. in response to a report of “a suspicious vehicle,” police said.
Upon finding and nearing the vehicle, “shots were fired from inside the suspect vehicle,” and one of them hit Toney, a news release said.
“Other responding officers returned fire and pulled Ofc. Toney to cover,” police said. “The suspect vehicle fled the scene; it is unknown if anyone in the vehicle was struck by return fire.”
Toney was taken to a hospital, where he died, police said.
Officers discovered that the involved vehicle had crashed nearby, which involved Pretlow, police said. Initially, authorities were searching for four suspects, but that number was dwindled down to two, police said upon announcing Pretlow’s arrest.
