Richmond County authorities are investigating a deadly shooting that occurred Thursday afternoon outside The One Stop convenience store at 2382 Barton Chapel Road.
According to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, Raekwon Tyrell Brinson, 28, of the 2300 block of Barton Chapel Road, was a customer at the store. He was in the doorway when he was shot at least once and despite lifesaving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:52 p.m.
A suspect fled the area but was pursued and apprehended near Milledgeville Road, deputies said.
Investigators say the incident does not appear to be a robbery, though the motive remains under investigation. An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the exact cause of death.
No additional information about the suspect or circumstances surrounding the shooting has been released.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is encouraged to call CID at 706-821-1000. No further details are available at this time. The next of kin has been notified.
