ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Police in Athens say they've apprehended two suspects in the killing of a University of Georgia student in what investigators say was an off-campus drug deal.
Authorities say that 21-year-old Min Seok Cho was shot Tuesday, then driven by car to Athens Regional Medical Center. He died at the hospital.
Athens-Clarke County police said in statement Thursday that two suspects, ages 18 and 21, have been taken into custody. Police said they face charges that include felony murder and aggravated assault.
Eric Yi, a friend of Cho who also attends UGA, said Cho was a graduate of Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee. Yi tells The Athens Banner-Herald that Cho was expected to graduate next year from UGA with a degree in international studies.
