Gwinnett County police say an officer shot and killed the man charged in the shooting death of one of their officers over the weekend.
Gwinnett County police Chief Butch Ayers says 18-year-old Tafahree Maynard was fatally shot Monday after officers found him in a shed behind a home in the Snellville area.
Maynard faced charges of aggravated assault and felony murder in the Saturday afternoon shooting of Officer Antwan Toney.
The officer was shot near Shiloh Middle School in the Snellville area on Saturday afternoon. Toney, who had worked for the Gwinnett Police Department for three years, was responding to a report of a suspicious car parked near the school when someone in the vehicle opened fire.
Police have said 19-year-old Isaiah Pretlow was in the car with Maynard when the shots were fired and was taken into custody around 11:30 p.m. Saturday. He was charged with aggravated assault after police said he pointed a gun at an officer during the chase after Toney was shot.
