The shooting happened outside an apartment complex on Embarcadero Road, where officers found Wilson dead and the female victim critically injured with gunshot wounds.
The female victim identified Shumaker as the shooter, saying he was her ex-boyfriend who refused to leave her apartment after their relationship ended.
Surveillance footage captured Shumaker pistol-whipping the woman and shooting both victims before calmly leaving the scene on a motorcycle.
Shumaker had a prior domestic violence conviction involving a different victim in Gwinnett County.
