HALL COUNTY, Ga. — Authorities in Hall County say the suspect in the shooting death of a woman at a convenience store is still at large and should be considered armed and dangerous.

Hall County Sheriff’s Office said in an update Sunday they are seeking Antwane Sintell Thurmond, 45, of Oakwood.

He’s wanted in connection with the deadly shooting of Tia Vidon Keith, 44, at the Subhanallah Food Mart on Thursday. He’s accused of chasing her inside the store and opening fire.
