A man was arrested Tuesday in connection with a deadly shooting near downtown Atlanta’s Greyhound bus station earlier this month.

According to his arrest warrant, Melvin Marshall, 25, is responsible for the death of Torrance Statham on May 17. Marshall was arrested in DeKalb County and booked into the Fulton County Jail on multiple charges, including murder and aggravated assault.

It’s not clear what prompted the shooting, which unfolded near the Garnett MARTA station. The scene was behind the Greyhound station on Forsyth Street, and a MARTA officer called Atlanta police. He told investigators he heard a single gunshot and saw a man standing over the victim’s body before running away, the warrant states.

Statham, who had been shot once in the chest, was pronounced dead at the scene.
