Palmer is the prime suspect in the fatal shooting that left the congregation at World Changers Church International in shock.
Police said Palmer calmly walked into the chapel at World Changers Church International during a 10 a.m. prayer service Wednesday and shot Gregory McDowell, 39, of Union City.
Afterwards, police said Palmer calmly walked out of the church, got into a black Subaru with tinted windows, and drove off.
McDowell, a church prayer leader, was one of about 20 to 25 people in the chapel. He died after he was taken to a local hospital.
Around 3 p.m., Atlanta police spotted Palmer's car at Lenox Square Mall and began running surveillance.
Palmer was arrested without incident inside Macy's around 4 p.m. He was unarmed.
But his arrest on Wednesday may not have been Palmer's first run in with the law.
A search of Maryland court records revealed Palmer may have been behind bars before. A man with the same name and birth date as Palmer was accused of attempted murder in 2011. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of assault and was sentenced to several years in a psychiatric hospital.
