RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA - Police in Hinesville, Ga. have arrested a man who investigators think killed a cook at a Sonic Drive-In in Raleigh last month, authorities said. <br> <br> Raleigh police say Deon Partridge, 23, of Fuquay-Varina, was the triggerman during an attempted robbery when Donald Kersey, 22, was killed Sept. 29. <br> <br> Investigators believe two men entered the restaurant and herded employees into a cooler as one accomplice acted as a lookout and another waited in a stolen getaway car. <br> <br> After Kersey, a father of three, was shot in the face, the robbers left without taking any money. Three suspects in the robbery were arrested earlier this month. <br> <br> Partridge, who faces first-degree murder charges, was arrested Friday by an officer from the Hinesville Police Department. Details of the arrest were not available. <br> <br> Partridge will be brought to Raleigh on Friday, police Sgt. Norm Grodi of the Raleigh Police Department said.
