Man allegedly involved in two murder cases in the span of months has been arrested in Atlanta

A man allegedly involved in two murder cases months apart in Atlanta has been arrested, police said.

On Feb. 8, D’Quon Hayes, 29, was arrested without incident, according to Atlanta police and reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Hayes faces a murder charge in connection with the shooting of 47-year-old William Singfield Jr. on Jan. 22 at a Citgo gas station on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Atlanta, Georgia, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Officers found the victim critically injured from a gunshot wound. Singfield later died at the hospital, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Investigators recovered evidence at the scenes and homicide detectives named Hayes as the suspect, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Hayes was on the run for weeks, but investigators worked with the department’s fugitive unit to locate him, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

It is the second homicide case in which Hayes faces charges within the past five months, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Court records obtained showed he was indicted in September on charges of murder and several violent felonies in connection with a Nov. 2020 shooting.

According to the arrest warrant, Hayes shot 45-year-old Terrence Beavers in the chest and killed him on Nov. 17, 2020, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Fulton County police found Beavers dead inside a Chevy Malibu that crashed into a retaining wall beneath an I-20 overpass, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

A court order shows that Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram put Hayes’ case on a judicial hold on Nov. 3, stalled the prosecution, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Ingram lifted after his second murder arrest in months, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
