A verbal dispute at a Browns Mill Road gas station in Lithonia, Georgia, on the late afternoon of December 3, 2023, ended in a fatal shooting that claimed 36-year-old Desmond Barcolleh. DeKalb County police were called just before 4 p.m.; Barcolleh had been taken from the scene in a private vehicle and transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died of his wounds.

Investigators identified 26-year-old Prince Jordan Jr. as a suspect. On December 22, 2023, a coordinated operation involving the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office fugitive unit, Georgia State Patrol SWAT, and U.S. Secret Service technological assistance led to Jordan’s arrest at an apartment on Evans Mill Road. He was booked into the DeKalb County jail on a malice murder charge.

Barcolleh’s funeral service took place at Life Abundantly Church, and he was buried December 16, 2023, at Hillandale Memorial Gardens in Lithonia. If anyone witnessed the confrontation at the gas station or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
