Mobley was shot and killed around 3:30 a.m. behind Hole in the Wall, a bar in a busy shopping center in the 3100 block of Peachtree Road.

An argument led to the gunfire, and Mobley was shot in his torso and arm, police said after a preliminary investigation. He later died at Grady Memorial Hospital.

Mobley leaves behind 3-year-old 6-year-old daughters.

In the weeks after the shooting, investigators were searching for three men seen driving away from the area in a damaged burgundy Nissan Altima.

Police did not say Wednesday if the two arrested were among the three shown in previously released surveillance video.
