Officials in Georgia said Dayshawn Vaughns, 22, was picked up Thursday on a murder charge in connection to a deadly deli shooting in East New York in the middle of the summer.

Vaughns was busted by a team of investigators from the NYPD, Muscogee County Sheriff's Office, and U.S. Marshals Service, after setting up surveillance at a residence that had previously been connected to the wanted fugitive, authorities said in an online post.

The 22-year-old was arrested for the deaths of Sulaiman Odunsa, 21, and Amir Green, 23, two Brooklyn men gunned down at a deli around 11:30 p.m. on July 4. Police previously arrested 19-year-old Malachi Kirkland, also on murder charges.

Attorney information for either suspect was not immediately known.

Odunsa and Green were killed amid a wave of gun violence throughout the borough. They died in a weekend where a total of 21 people were shot, three of whom were killed.
