33-year-old Victor Demetrious Baymon was taken into custody Friday

Authorities identified the man killed as 43-year-old Brandon Harris. The other two victims have not been identified.

Police said they believe the shootings were random.

In 2017, he was arrested and charged with the murder of 27-year-old Priscilla Colbert.

Days later, he was arrested after ramming a UHaul truck into a deputy’s car in Clayton County. He was charged with multiple counts of Malice Murder, two counts of Felony Murder, multiple Aggravated Assault charges and several gun charges and fleeing police.

He was found not guilty for all those charges, except fleeing police. He was sentenced to five years in prison and released in 2022.

Bayman will be booked into Clayton County Jail after being discharged from the hospital. He is facing malice murder, armed robbery, hijacking a motor vehicle, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Authorities added other charges are possible.

Forest Park police said Victor Demetrious Baymon, 33, was arrested after a brief pursuit in Cobb County. He is in “critical but stable” condition and will later be taken to Clayton County Jail.

The incident started around 10:30 a.m. in Forest Park, when officers were called to an “active shooting incident.” Schools and city buildings were placed on lockdown during the manhunt.

Police say Baymon is accused of following his ex-girlfriend to the Twin Pic convenience store on West Street, where she was reportedly having her taxes prepared. Investigators say Baymon was armed with a rifle and opened fire, killing the tax worker and shooting and injuring a customer.

Officials have released the mugshot of the suspect from when he was arrested in 2017. He was arrested after slamming a U-Haul truck into a police cruiser in April 2017. He had also been accused of killing a woman in the 100 block of Black Forest Trail in Stockbridge earlier that month.
