“The two guys were arguing but she’s like they always argue, she was like right when they were getting ready to pull into Buckhead Station -- he stands up, pulls weapon out, and did what he did and ran off,” said James.
Hours later, police said a mother and her two teenage daughters were shot near Middleton Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
Despite the recent crime, The Atlanta Journal Constitution released recent data that shows homicides are down more than 30 percent in comparison to last year.
