ATLANTA - Two suspects have been arrested in Illinois in connection with a deadly shooting in northwest Atlanta in June, police said.


Atlanta Police Fugitive Unit investigators, working with the FBI Springfield Field Office's Violent Crime Task Force, arrested Mario Johnson, 18, and a 15-year-old suspect on Oct. 14 in Urbana, Ill.

Both suspects have been charged with murder and aggravated assault in connection with the shooting death of a 33-year-old man.

Police said officers responded to a report of a person shot in the 2800 block of Mango Circle NW around 1:30 p.m. on June 7.


When officers arrived, they found the man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died despite life-saving efforts.

Johnson and the 15-year-old suspect are awaiting extradition to Atlanta. The investigation remains ongoing.
