Clayton County police identify suspects connected to deadly gas station shooting

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. - Clayton County Sheriff's deputies are searching for two men connected to a homicide at a gas station Monday. 

According to the sheriff's office, investigators went to the Chevron gas station in the 200 block of Forest Parkway on November 9. Officers found a man laying on the ground who died from an apparent gunshot to the torso.

Authorities learned one of the suspects, later identified as Tony Stevenson, was at the gas station for a custody exchange. Stevenson became upset because his child's mother was with her boyfriend, police said. He then took her car keys, before hitting the mother several times with a closed fist and biting her on the arm. 

A passenger in the father's car shot the woman's boyfriend multiple times as he was coming to her defense. The shooting suspect has been identified as Reginald Hardy.
