Here's the update and previous story from the Rome News-Tribune:
ATLANTA (AP) — A man has been arrested in the shooting death of a Kennesaw man who was killed when he tried to repossess a car.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Fulton County Police spokeswoman Melissa Parker says U.S. marshals arrested 29-year-old Justin Moore in DeKalb County Tuesday morning.
Authorities say Moore began firing a shotgun at the two repo men after they had loaded his 2004 Ford Mustang on their tow truck Thursday morning. They drove away, but police say he chased them in another car and ran them off the road.
Moore is accused of killing 27-year-old Brandon Thomas and wounding 36-year-old Willie Thackston.
Officers found the car Thursday night behind a warehouse in Clayton County, just south of Atlanta.

ATLANTA (AP) — Police are searching for a gunman who killed a repo man and critically wounded another as they tried to repossess his car in south Fulton County.

Police briefly chased the suspect, but he was able to get away.
McBride said police are searching for 29-year-old Justin Moore in connection with the shooting. The names of the victims have not been released.
