Quadarius McDowell thought his car was being stolen. The victim was only moving the car from one part of the property to another.
A man who took his car to get serviced at a DeKalb County, Georgia, tire shop Saturday is now behind bars after police say he shot and killed an employee moving his vehicle.
Police said the murder suspect, 30-year-old Quadarius McDowell, opened fire on the auto employee because he thought his car was being stolen — even though the victim was only moving the car from one part of the tire shop property to another. Authorities were called to the Tires Plus at 577 DeKalb Industrial Way in the Scottsdale area of unincorporated DeKalb just before 1:30 p.m. When they arrived, they found Daniel Gordon, 24, suffering from a gunshot wound. Gordon, an employee at Tires Plus, later died from his injuries at a hospital.
Investigators said Gordon was moving McDowell’s car to the tire shop’s business parking lot, but they said the suspect thought Gordon was trying to steal it. Police said McDowell fired multiple shots at his car, fatally wounding Gordon. Police said McDowell ran away after the shooting, but officers were able to find and arrest him. No other information on the incident has been released.©2022 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Visit at
