GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A murder suspect that sparked a seven-hour SWAT standoff in Grayson and went on the run earlier this week has been arrested.
Gwinnett County jail records show Christian Houston was booked Thursday evening. The 19-year-old is accused of murder, aggravated assault, simple battery and possession of a weapon during a felony, records show. The simple battery charge is from an incident that happened last month according to a warrant.
Houston's charges stem from a shooting investigation that evolved into a SWAT situation Sunday afternoon.
Officers were called to a home along Roseberry Lane around noon on June 18 to investigate. Once they arrived, they learned 38-year-old Rodrell Dobson was dead and understood Houston was holed up inside the home -- but that was not the case.
When they finally managed to get inside the home -- no one was found alive.
Gwinnett County authorities said Dobson went to the home to pick up a family member. Houston shot him in the driveway and left, officials said.
Court records show Houston is currently being held without bond.
