VALDOSTA, Ga.?A teenager was charged and another suspect was being sought Thursday in the shooting death of a university professor, whose body was found locked in the trunk of his car.

Bobby Blake, 44, an assistant dean at Valdosta State University, had been shot several times, said Sgt. Steve Owen.

His body was found Wednesday after a patrol officer spotted two men standing next to Blake’s car on a dirt road. Both men fled, and later abandoned their vehicle.

Charles Anthony Paschal, 18, was arrested Wednesday and charged with murder and obstruction of an officer. Owen said a 23-year-old also was being sought. A potential witness had told police about being in Blake’s car with the two men.

Police would not say what motivated the slaying, although it did not appear to be robbery.

Blake taught courses in ethical issues in the arts and black American music and culture at the south-central Georgian university.
