Another arrest has been made in the New Year’s Day shootout in front of a Newton County gas station.
Bryace Maurice Blair, 18, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless conduct, and multiple weapons charges after surrendering to authorities on Sunday.
His arrest stemmed from an exchange of gunfire in front of the Circle K along Salem Road.
According to the Newton County Sheriff’s Office, two groups got into a fight outside the gas station, and shots were fired shortly after.
Everyone involved fled the scene before deputies arrived.
Four people were previously arrested: 18-year-old Corde Marks, 21-year-old Cameron Little, 17-year-old Cameron Hill, and 19-year-old Earon Little. Only Marks and Blair remain in the Newton County Jail as of Tuesday.
No one was injured, but the gunfire caused some damage.
Investigators have not stated whether they are seeking further suspects or if the five arrests represent everyone involved in the altercation.
