Witnesses told police that Orr saw a gun in Dykes’ waistline and grabbed it from his pants just before 9 a.m. on Friday. Dykes reportedly chased Orr outside and a struggle ensued before the teen shot and killed Dykes.
Police reviewed surveillance footage to track down Orr at a nearby motel where he was arrested. He is charged with felony murder and robbery by sudden snatching, police said.
The Dunkin’ dining area remained closed to customers through Saturday, while the drive-thru stayed open.
Dunkin’ told WSB-TV the company is “aware of the incident that took place at our franchised location in Decatur, GA.”
“The franchisee is cooperating fully with local authorities as they conduct their investigation,” the company said. “Due to this being an active investigation, we defer any comment to the local police department.”
