Police have arrested 25-year-old Keontay Holliman-Peoples in connection with the shooting, charging him with felony murder and aggravated assault.
Authorities say the 20‑year‑old got into a dispute with the suspect before the suspect fatally shot him.
Police say Sterling entered a parked vehicle with Holliman‑Peoples and another unidentified individual, and the dispute escalated until someone fired shots inside the car.
Authorities responded to the Lyke House Catholic Center just before 2:00pm where they found Sterling. He was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Sterling was a Chicago native where he excelled at baseball and earned a scholarship to play for the Clark Atlanta Panthers.
