The sheriff’s office said its Fugitive Unit, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service, took both suspects into custody at a home on Cedarbrook Drive on Feb. 27.
Investigators arrested Robert Grady, 22, in connection with a deadly shooting outside an adult entertainment club in Clarkston.
Authorities allege that in November 2025, Grady and another individual exited a Jeep and opened fire on three people inside a vehicle in the 1300 block of Brockett Road.
The shooting left Gary Matthews, 31, of Lithonia, dead at the scene. Another victim was critically injured, according to officials.
Grady is charged with malice murder and is being held without bond at the DeKalb County Jail.
