Compton was accused in the January 14 beating of a 59-year-old man inside a convenience store at 1509 Dr. D.B. Todd Boulevard. 

A group of young men were standing outside the market and reportedly got into a verbal argument with the victim over where he parked his car. 

Compton followed the victim inside where he punched him in the head.  The victim was knocked unconscious and sustained a laceration to his face and broken jaw.

Compton is also being sought as a person of interest for the April 2015 fatal shooting of John Sykes, 33, in Edgehill Homes.
