DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — DeKalb Police on Wednesday released photos of people they said they are looking to question in a murder that happened at a Chevron gas station the day before.
The DeKalb County Medical Examiner identified the victim as 64-year-old James Oliver. On Tuesday, authorities said he was shot while he was sitting in his car at the Chevron station on Panola Road near Redan Road.
As gunshots were being fired at the car he put it in gear and tried to drive off, police said, but he was too severely injured and shortly crashed into a telephone pole.
Police on Tuesday had not confirmed the victim died, but said he was in critical condition. On Wednesday a DeKalb Police tweet classified the incident as a murder.
The department said it is looking for three people wanted for questioning in relation to the murder.
"DKPD needs help identifying the individuals pictured below. The subjects are wanted for questioning in reference to the murder of a male at 1241 Panola Road, Chevron, yesterday at 6 p.m. If you have any info please contact our Homicide/Assault Unit at 770-724-7850," DeKalb Police tweeted.
