A 24-year-old Douglas County man has been charged with delivering a deadly sucker punch in a dispute over a ballcap at a heavy-metal concert, police said Tuesday.

Atlanta police and Douglas County authorities arrested Michael Scott Axley Monday afternoon on a murder warrant in the death of 30-year-old Andy Richardson.

A brief fight Aug. 1 between Richardson, Axley and "unknown others" happened where the seats meet the lawn at the HiFi Buys Amphitheater.

Richardson died Aug. 3 at Grady Memorial Hospital and his organs were donated.

According to friends who had gone with Richardson to the Korn concert at the former Lakewood Ampitheater, Axley and others were moving among the crowd, picking fights.

Earlier in the evening, Axley and others tumbled down a hill, crashing into Richardson and his friends and there was a brief scuffle, according to Bernice Averil, who was in Richardson's group.

A little later, the rowdies returned and one of them snatched Richardson's cap.

Axley allegedly punched Richardson in the face as he jumped to grab his cap Axley tossed back to him. Richardson's head hit the concrete.
