LILBURN, Ga. — An 18-year-old, already behind bars for a non-profit worker's murder, has been charged in another murder from over the summer.

According to Lilburn Police, Khalid Bays and another suspect are being charged with the murder of Rahmier Gardner. Authorities say Gardner was shot to death in July in a Lilburn parking lot.

Bays had just turned himself in for the Aug. 12 murder of Beverly Jenkins, the City of Refuge non-profit worker, who was shot and killed while heading home from her shift at work. Police were able to link Bays and another suspect to Jenkins' murder after two bullets from a separate carjacking matched the one used to fatally shoot Jenkins.
