ATLANTA — Atlanta police have named one of three suspects they say are responsible for a pair of shootings that happened within ten minutes and one mile of each other.
At 5:50 a.m. on April 20, officers were called to 2030 Main St. where they found Korri Jackson, 27, who had been shot. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
While investigating that call less than ten minutes later, officers learned of another shooting at 2479 Abner Terrace. That victim, 19-year-old Jalen Curtis, was taken to the hospital and died from his injuries.
