Charles Jakobe Fox Santana Payne, 18, was shot and killed on the evening of June 22, 2022, in the parking lot of a Chevron on Covington Highway in DeKalb County, an Atlanta suburb. Multiple shell casings at the scene suggested more than one shooter. DeKalb County police released images of three men they called persons of interest and asked the public for help identifying them.

At the time of his death Payne was a fugitive wanted in connection with a March 2022 shooting that wounded a Clayton County police officer and another man. Clayton County authorities had initially arrested the wrong person in that earlier case; that man was released after six weeks when Payne was publicly identified as the correct suspect. Payne’s killing effectively closed that investigation into the officer’s shooting.

No arrests or charges in the DeKalb County parking lot homicide have been reported. Did anyone see activity at the Chevron that night or recognize the men released as persons of interest?
