Two teenage boys have been arrested for shooting dead a Georgia high school football star in a mall parking lot while he was on a date with his girlfriend.
Elijah DeWitt, 18, was shot dead in the parking lot of a Dave & Buster's outside of the Sugarloaf Mills Mall in Lawrenceville on October 5 following an altercation with two others.
Police arrested Kemare Bryan, 18, and Chandler Richardson, 19, in South Carolina two days later. The two are both from Lawrenceville.
'Detectives are still working to investigate the motive behind this incident, it appears that the suspects and the victim were familiar with each other and when they encountered each other in the parking lot, an altercation took place and then the shooting,' Gwinnett Police Department said in a statement.
DeWitt was on a date with his girlfriend, Bailey Reidling, at the time of his death. In a 911 emergency call, Reidling can be heard screaming in the background.
'I was at Dave & Buster's, I heard people screaming, I look towards my right, and I see someone lay down,' a person said in a 911 call obtained by Fox News. 'I've never seen anything like this, man.'
Bryan and Richardson were charged with malice and felony murder. The two were also charged with possession of a firearm and aggravated assault
The duo will be extradited from Anderson County to Gwinnett County on October 10.

its so easy to say you're "Christian" and that you forgive the murderers... its a chicken way out of actually fighting back....
instead of saying because I'm "Christian" I demand justice...remember, no justice, no peace.
The perps probably said something rude to the girlfriend which elicited a look from the football star who was shot for the ‘dis’
Or..
The ferals said something of a sexual nature to the attractive blonde blue eyed girlfriend of the victim and he defender her honor. That’s much more likely. The feral youths that I am around daily, have little to no impulse control.
We frequent the Pro Bass shop there but sadly that mall after dark is not safe. Lots of gang stuff. We never go there after dark. Even a security guard told us its not safe at night.
True.
The shooters were felons already.
These young thugs are taught to blame and hate whitey. They happen to be the most racist demographic.
The worst thing you can call them is the “n” word. “Neighbor”
LOL! 😂😂😂
Seldom investigated as a hate crime.
I will keep reminding people of the murder of Jason Spencer, a white man on a walk with his newlywed wife. Group black teens killed him and the shooter later admitted to a police officer he wished he could have killed other white “mother forkers”.
Even with him admitting it was a hate crime it was never charged as such.
None of the gang got over 20 years.
