Two other suspects have been apprehended in the Dalton, Ga., drug deal gone bad that resulted in the shooting death of 20-year-old Abel Carmona, police say.

Dalton police arrested 20-year-old Marquis Dequan Tanner, of Dalton, late Thursday on a murder warrant.

Tanner is also being charged with armed robbery and possession of a firearm or knife in commission of a felony.

Tanner was arrested during a traffic stop at the intersection of U.S. Highway 41 and Interstate 75 around midnight after police spotted a silver Nissan Pathfinder similar to one the suspect was believed to be traveling in leaving the Cliffs apartments, an area he was known to frequent.

Additionally, Dalton Police report that 17-year-old Tywon Jay Henderson, of 1300 Autumn Court, the final suspect in the homicide, surrendered to police on a warrant for murder at the Dalton Police Services Center Friday evening.
