The search for a murder suspect in Gainsville ended Saturday morning when investigators found the wanted man walking along I-985 in Hall County.
Deputies arrested Daniel Guerrero, 32, of Gainesville, around 8:30 a.m. He faces malice murder charges in the early morning shooting death of another Gainesville man, Qualyn Tanner.
According to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a call to check the area off of East Ridge Road after a community member heard gunshots along Wade Drive. Deputies found the victim’s body, later identified as Tanner, behind a residence on the street. The 21-year-old Tanner had been shot multiple times, officials say.
Investigators also responded to the scene and later identified Guerrero as the suspect. They arrested him just south of Exit 20 without incident.
Authorities notified Tanner’s family and sent his body to the GBI crime lab in Decatur for an autopsy.
The crime remains under investigation by the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.
