A teenager is in custody after being named a suspect in the shooting that left a movie set security guard in intensive care, authorities said.
Daijon Tyes, 18, was arrested in Clayton County on Wednesday, Union City police said in a news release.
He was named as a suspect in the shooting of 28-year-old Tomesha Brown, who was working as a security guard for a movie being filmed at the Citizens Lanes Bowling Alley, AJC.com previously reported.
Brown was on a ventilator in ICU on Monday, her mother previously said. Brown had just arrived at work when the shooting happened.
