He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials say surveillance video shows a black sedan pull up to the McDonald's with no license plate and blacked-out windows.
Green parked the car and walked up to the drive-thru window, where he fired three shots at Gray while he was working inside.
The suspect fled on foot back to his car. Social media posts linked Green to the crime scene.
Two months later, Green was arrested for an unrelated criminal offense in Prince George's County.
At the time of his arrest, he was driving a black 2001 Cadillac Catera, a rare vehicle according to Maryland motor vehicle records.
Green's Cadillac Catera had a decal that also corresponded to one on the vehicle observed in the McDonald's footage.
